Pipeline Safety is a topic of conversation whenever any pipelines are being proposed. At Polyguard Products, Inc. we manufacture protective coatings to keep pipelines safe. More importantly that's why pipeline owners require contractors to use pre-selected and approved coatings like RD-6, FBE and two part epoxies on their pipelines. The reality is most incidents involving pipelines occur because of unauthorized digging, not because of poorly designed pipelines. That's why the 811 law exists. It's not a suggestion, it's required by law. #pipelinesafety #callbeforeyoudig #811 #coatings #pipelinecoatings #RD6

It’s a busy 1st surveying the Colne Barrier completing the South Gate over the next 5 days then a couple of weeks break before starting on the north gate. This is the 3rd inspection the gates have had since installation in the early 90’s. With internal and external inspections taking place it’s a busy programme. #paintinspectionltd #coatings #paintinspector #coatingsurvey #nace3 #icorr3

Luck should never be a deciding factor for safe practices or design. "There have been several incidents involving cranes over the last five years, but Towsley said that the industry has been lucky over the last five years. “The fact that we have had two incidents in four days, well it doesn’t seem like anyone has been fatally injured it is pure luck and we can’t rely on pure luck going forward.”" https://lnkd.in/ePtfHF2E #risk #claims #crane #cranesafety #failure #engineering #investigation #forensicengineering

Selecting a protective coating system for offshore structures isn't a decision to be taken lightly. While certifications like ISO 12944-9 or NORSOK M-501 can set a standard, they’re not the end-all-be-all for long-term corrosion management. What should you consider? Look beyond the labels. Evaluate the coating's formulation, intended use, application requirements, life cycle, and reputation. Many coatings that pass certification tests may still fall short in real-world conditions. Ready to dive deeper? Our latest article explores the key factors to consider when choosing an offshore coating and why you need to look beyond standard specs to truly protect your structure.
