Coating technology for extended lifetime
Safinah provided the following services to a major windfarm owner to provide them with expert opinion on coatings technologies for extended durability and lifetime, including knowledge and contacts across sectors to generate unbiased opinion. Safinah interviewed coating manufacturers and asset owners to gather real world data, and steered client discussion to a final recommended technology to adopt.
Repair method for corrosion below teak deck.
One of the world’s most prestigious super yachts, was suffering from a filler cracking issue at the rear, close to the large stern door. Every time a repair was initiated the filler would crack in the same place with the problem increasing in size usually within a very short time. Major paint companies had tried to repair the area on several occasions but to date without success.
Functional specifications to reduce through life costs
The project is to develop a method to assess the technical merit of bids from rival paint companies after the owner had put a fleet coating contract out to tender.
Safinah used a functional coating specification approach to identify the key attributes for the client in the critical vessel areas.
