Three Inescapable Perks to Hiring a Certified Corrosion Professional
“Corrosion engineering is the application of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering to develop and implement ways to mitigate damage caused by corrosion,” writes Matthew Taylor in New Engineer. He cites the courses and subsequent certifications in coating inspection, coating application, and cathodic protection offered by NACE International and the Society for Protective Coatings as being “highly valued” and providing a “deep knowledge of corrosion issues.”
With this niche education, corrosion professionals with NACE certifications can save a corrosion project from a budget and operational disaster. They perform laser-focused onsite inspections, assess corrosion-caused asset damage, give remediation recommendations, and document the entire process.
By comparison, uncertified professionals lack granular knowledge about corrosion and best practices to remove and prevent it. They’ve also never been taught step-by-step methods to investigate and report asset damage. Here are three reasons your industrial business needs certified corrosion experts on your next corrosion project.
1. You Learn the Root Cause of Corrosion at Your Industrial Business.
Well before equipment fails, it is repeatedly exposed to chemicals, environmental factors, and other forms of wear and tear. The surface slowly corrodes. The damage, which is inevitable without a well-developed corrosion management plan, will cause temporary operational shutdowns. Without a point person to regularly inspect the equipment and provide reports to management, the damage will continue and may lead to equipment failure.
When you work with a certified corrosion expert, they investigate the root causes of corrosion in your industrial business. For example, a specific environmental factor or gas may be escalating corrosion in your business’ industrial coatings. This information allows you to make changes at your facility and protect your equipment.
2. You Get a Detailed Look at Asset Damage.
Assets are a costly investment for any industrial business. They’re what ultimately makes the business run. They also help to recuperate money from their resale value. It’s not enough to have a corrosion professional inspect the signs of damage on a particular asset. Rather, it’s critical to have a comprehensive inspection of all assets in order to determine how impacted each asset is. After their onsite investigation, a certified corrosion professional will give your business a detailed report of each of your assets and their stages of corrosion.
3. You Receive Documentation of the Whole Process.
Instead of having someone give a verbal explanation and an emailed quote, a certified corrosion professional will hand you documentation of their inspection, asset damage, remediation and mitigation recommendations, project timeline, and budget proposal. This approach not only helps to protect your business’s bottom line but protectively addresses any concerns management and the board of directors may have.
