A maintenance survey determines the coating conditions of a surface and are used to design a suitable maintenance schedule for re-coating and touch-up applications. They are used to assess bridges, refineries, water tanks, fuel storage tanks, wastewater treatment plants, shipyards, and anywhere coating is vital.
When performing a maintenance survey, WCCC’s goal is to predict where deterioration happens and at what rate it occurs, allowing for a better, more cost-effective maintenance schedule.
