Course Introduction
Corrosion, surface degradation, and environmental exposure can severely impact the integrity and lifecycle of industrial assets. Fabric maintenance is a critical process that ensures long-term asset protection, especially in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, marine, and infrastructure. This course explores ISO standards relevant to surface preparation, coating systems, inspection, and maintenance planning.
Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of how international ISO standards such as ISO 12944 (coating systems), ISO 8501 (surface preparation), and ISO 4628 (coating degradation) can be practically applied to manage and inspect fabric maintenance systems. The course combines technical training with field-oriented case studies to enhance operational reliability and cost-effectiveness.
