Surface Preparation

Surface preparation

Preparation work is specified by what happens next. Cleaning for a visual inspection, for a bonded joint and for a coating system are three different requirements.

Preparation before

  • Visual and non-destructive inspection
  • Protective coating application
  • Adhesive bonding
  • Weld repair
  • Further machining or processing

Surface profile and specification

Where a coating specification requires a defined surface profile or cleanliness standard, that requirement is discussed at enquiry stage. We do not claim a particular profile or standard unless it has been measured and specified, and in some cases another preparation method will be the correct answer.

Who we work with

This service is commonly used by coating contractors, fabricators, engineering companies and in-house maintenance teams, either as a subcontract package or as part of a wider project.
