Engineering System Specifications

Metal Structures & Pipeline Protection

Build a corrosion-protection system from preparation and primer through the exposure-specific protective and finish coats.

Metal Structure Corrosion & Exposure Challenge

Steel structures, pipes, and tanks in coastal and industrial zones face rapid atmospheric corrosion, chemical exposure, and thermal cycles. If unprotected, rust compromises structural integrity and leads to material failure.

Application Selection Guidance

Specify Geobit high-performance protective coating systems. These comprise zinc-rich epoxy primers, high-build epoxy intermediate coatings, and UV-stable aliphatic polyurethane topcoats. For buried pipelines, specify hybrid polyurea coatings or heavy-duty bituminous pipe-wrap tapes.

Metal Structures & Pipeline Protection Detail
Technical Layout
Metal Structures & Pipeline Protection Assembly Profile

Abrasive blast cleaning to SA 2.5 standard creating sharp angular anchor profile.

Zinc-rich or high-build epoxy primer protecting steel against atmospheric corrosion.

Fast-curing spray polyurea membrane providing extreme abrasion, impact, and chemical resistance for pipelines and steel structures.

Recommended Products & Materials:

Aliphatic polyurethane finish topcoat preventing color fading and weathering.

Hold Point 03 / 05 Quality Logs
Stage 3: Material & Mixing Logs

Measure dry film thickness (DFT) of each layer (primer, intermediate, topcoat) using an electromagnetic gauge.

Verification Checklist
  • Batch number logs
  • Mixing ratio checks
  • Consumption rate logging
Hold Point 04 / 05 Mandatory Sign-off
Stage 4: Adhesion & Tests

Hold Point 05 / 05 Final Approval
Stage 5: Final Inspection

Conduct cross-cut or pull-off testing (minimum 5 MPa for metal substrates).

Verification Checklist
  • Flashing and termination
  • Protection board verify
  • Pre-backfill compliance
