Failure Analysis

Despite careful selection and control during coating application, failures can and do happen. Charter Coating is dedicated to the understanding of protective coatings. We conduct coating examinations both at the molecular level and with a steel toed shoes and hard hat perspective.

Failures may occur as a result of many factors including:
  • Application defects
  • Surface preparation
  • Service environment (chemistry, temperature, pressure)
  • Physical stresses
  • Coating selection
  • Material defects
Our staff has extensive experience in coating testing, inspection, pipeline coatings, failure analysis and expert representation.

Charter's laboratory and offices are based in Calgary with ready access through Calgary's International Airport to cities throughout North America and the rest of the world.
