PAINTING SERVICES

  • INTRODUCTION Over time, corrosion can produce alterations in the structural characteristics of metal components that also compromise safety and functionality. An effective management of the corrosion protection process is therefore essential to guarantee quality and continuity of the service and for the reduction of direct and indirect costs deriving from maintenance interventions, including among them also the interruptions of the services for which the components are intended. Since July 2014, the structural carpentry sector has been regulated through the EN1090-1 standard, harmonized with the European Regulation No. 305/2011 for construction products. The standard defines “durability” of the components as an essential performance for the use of these products and refers to the requirements defined in EN12944 as mandatory legislation for the application of coatings by painting. The Oil & Gas sector is also concentrating its attention on the control of corrosion protection processes with the aim of improving the reliability and efficiency of the equipment during their useful life.
