Asset Inspection & Integrity Sevices UK
Specialist Asset Inspection for High-Risk Industrial Environments
Corrous Industrial Group provides professional asset inspection services across the UK. We support asset owners, operators, and contractors working in high-risk and highly regulated environments.
Our team delivers tank inspection, coating inspection, paint inspection, and lining survey services. All inspections are carried out by qualified personnel, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and consistency across every project.
We operate as part of an integrated service. Inspection can be delivered alongside surface preparation, coatings, and maintenance works. This reduces contractor fragmentation and improves overall project control and risk management.
What is Asset Inspection and Why Does it Matter
Asset inspection is essential for maintaining the safety, performance, and lifespan of industrial infrastructure. It ensures that coatings, linings, and structural elements meet specifications and remain fit for purpose.
Our inspection services identify:
- Coating breakdown and degradation
- Corrosion and substrate damage
- Application defects and non-compliance
- Early-stage failures before escalation
- General asset conditions of a working environment
Without accurate inspection, issues can go undetected. This leads to reduced asset life, increased maintenance costs, and higher operational risk.

We provide detailed tank inspection and pipeline inspection services across a range of industrial assets.
This includes:- Internal and external tank inspection of shells, roofs, and floors
- Pipeline and pipework condition assessments
- Identification of corrosion, defects, and coating failure
- Inspection support during shutdowns and maintenance programmes
These inspections support safe operation and help identify issues before they impact performance.
Coating & Lining Inspection
- Dry film thickness (DFT) measurement
- Surface cleanliness and preparation checks
- Holiday detection and defect identification
- Condition assessment of coatings and linings
This ensures coatings and linings are compliant, durable, and suitable for the operating environment.
Where Asset Inspection is Used
Our asset inspection services are used across infrastructure, including:
- Fuel and chemical storage tanks

Remaining Life Calculations and Risk Assessment
Understanding asset condition is only part of the picture.
Where applicable, we carry out remaining life calculations and degradation assessments to help you understand:
- How long assets can safely remain in service
- Whether intervention and maintenance are required
- Whether life extension is justified

FAQs
Yes. Our asset inspection and integrity assessment services are delivered in line with recognised industry standards and best practice, including EEMUA 159 and ICORR requirements where applicable. Our reports are structured to support regulatory compliance and are suitable for review by regulators, insurers, and third-party auditors.
We operate as an independent inspection and assessment provider. This independence ensures our findings, remaining life calculations, and remedial recommendations are objective, defensible, and focused solely on asset integrity, safety, and compliance.
Yes. Where appropriate, we carry out remaining life assessments and degradation rate evaluations to support risk-based decisions on continued operation, inspection intervals, and life extension. All assessments are clearly documented and aligned with industry guidance to support defensible decision-making.
We inspect critical assets including above-ground storage tanks, pipelines, pipework, bunds, secondary containment systems, and coated or lined assets. Our services are designed for high-risk, highly regulated environments such as COMAH sites, chemical processing facilities, fuel storage terminals, and utilities infrastructure.
You receive a clear, structured inspection report detailing asset condition, identified defects, risk considerations, remaining life where applicable, and prioritised remedial recommendations. Our reports are written to be practical, auditable, and usable by engineers, operators, and management teams.
Coating inspection ensures that protective systems are applied correctly and meet specifications. Without it, defects can go unnoticed, leading to premature failure, corrosion, and increased maintenance costs.
