Protective Coating Failure Investigation – Expert Analysis & Reporting

The application of a protective coating is a complex process influenced by numerous variables. When failures occur, it is essential that the investigation is carried out by highly experienced and qualified inspectors who can accurately identify the root cause and contributing factors.

At M.H. Inspection Ltd, our Coating Failure Investigations are conducted with a meticulous, evidence-based approach. The process involves a detailed review of key elements, including:

• The type and specification of the coating system used
• The application procedures and conditions during installation
• The service life of the coating prior to failure
• The working and environmental conditions the system was exposed to
• The physical characteristics of the failed coating, including adhesion, thickness, and appearance

Through the collection and analysis of this critical data, we are able to determine whether failure is due to material defect, surface preparation, incorrect application, environmental influences, or a combination of factors.

Following the investigation, M.H. Inspection Ltd produces a comprehensive Technical Report, structured to meet the stringent requirements of IRS 35 Expert Witness standards. Our reports provide clear, objective findings and professional recommendations that support legal, insurance, and technical decision-making processes.

Whether used in dispute resolution, quality assurance, or future project planning, our failure investigations provide clients with authoritative insight and dependable guidance.
