Frequently asked questions

How the experience stated can be verified.

Verifiable references, disputes handled and coating systems on which there is documented experience.

  1. D.01

    Can verifiable references on comparable projects be obtained?

    Yes. Verifiable references on comparable projects are provided on request, subject to the consent of the Client concerned.

  2. D.02

    Have technical disputes or claims with applicators been handled?

    Yes. Technical disputes have been handled directly with the applicators, with outcomes that in some cases found for the Client and in others for the applicator.

    The assessment is technical and remains independent of the party awarding the assignment: that is the condition for the report to carry weight where both parties are in attendance.

  3. D.03

    Is there documented experience of TSA thermal spray metallising and silicone systems?

    Yes. Experience of thermal spray metallising is extensive and covers both zinc and aluminium, on structures and on piping.

    Work on silicone systems has mainly involved passenger ship hulls.
