Why Industrial Protective Coatings Are Vital For Your Assets
Corrosion isn’t just cosmetic; it can have a detrimental impact on your systems. it presents serious safety, environmental, and financial risks to industrial assets.
A properly specified and professionally applied industrial protective coating system can:
- Extend asset lifecycle
- Reduce maintenance costs
- Prevent unplanned downtime
- Improve inspection and compliance outcomes
- Reduce corrosion under insulation (CUI) risk
- Protect against chemicals, abrasion, and UV exposure
What Ensures Long-Term Coating Performance?
To maximise performance and avoid premature failure, three factors are critical:
- Correct corrosion protection coatings selected for the environment
- Surface preparation delivered to specification
- Strict application control and quality assurance

Case Study - The Arco Dijk | Leading Marine Engineering Contractor
Project Overview
Corrous Industrial Group was contracted by a leading marine engineering contractor to deliver industrial cleaning, surface preparation, and protective coatings to the engine room bilge of the Arco Dijk vessel.
Works involved the application of an oil-resistant, surface-tolerant high-build epoxy coating system in a confined, high-contamination environment.
The Challenge
- Original scope: 4 operatives over 4–5 days
- Scope significantly expanded on arrival
- Vessel sailing deadline placed at immediate risk
- Critical requirement to complete within the docking window
Failure was not an option; the asset had to return to service on schedule.
Corrous Response
Within 24 hours, Corrous achieved:
- Mobilised an additional 10 operatives
- Scaled to a 24/7 round-the-clock delivery model
- Delivered works across 9 consecutive shifts
- Implemented correct environmental controls, including heating, dehumidification, and fume extraction
All works were executed safely within a confined space, maintaining full compliance with marine and health & safety standards.
Result Delivered
✅ Expanded scope completed on time
✅ Vessel sailed as scheduled
✅ Project delivered under extreme time pressure
✅ Contract value increased by 4x
Why Corrous Industrial Group?
- Rapid mobilisation for shutdown and time-critical works
- Scalable industrial coating teams
- Specialists in confined space and high-risk environments
- Proven delivery of industrial protective coatings under pressure

Yes. Corrous Industrial Group provides specialist industrial painting services as part of our wider industrial protective coatings services in the UK.
Our services include the application of high-performance coating systems to structural steelwork, tanks, pipework, and industrial assets operating in demanding environments. This includes epoxy, polyurethane, and other protective coating systems designed to deliver long-term corrosion protection and durability.
All industrial painting is delivered in line with specification, with a strong focus on surface preparation, quality control, and health and safety, ensuring reliable, high-standard results across every project.
A protective coating is a specialist coating system applied to steel or concrete to prevent corrosion, chemical attack, abrasion and environmental deterioration.
Industrial protective coatings are generally external or atmospheric exposure systems. Tank linings are internal systems designed for immersion, chemical resistance, and contamination control.
Service life depends on environment, surface prep, and coating system design. High-performance systems can provide 10–25+ years when correctly applied and maintained.
Yes — we can work to a client specification or help develop a coating scheme aligned to the service environment and desired lifespan.
We can apply systems from a wide range of recognised manufacturers subject to client requirements and compatibility.
Most internal linings require high preparation standards such as Sa2½ or Sa3, with strict contamination control and environmental monitoring to ensure lining integrity.
Potentially, yes — but lining selection depends on chemical compatibility, operating temperatures, and service conditions. We can advise on correct tank lining solutions and work alongside manufacturers where required.
Yes — we can provide inspection and QA documentation, including surface profile, environmental monitoring, and coating DFT readings where required.
Yes — Corrous Industrial Group have offices and storage facilities in the North West (Lancashire) and North East (South Shields), we support projects across the UK and can undertake tank linings and protective coatings globally.
Our surface preparation services include:
- Abrasive blasting to remove corrosion, contaminants, and failed coatings
- Ultra-high pressure (UHP) water jetting for efficient cleaning and surface preparation
- Mechanical preparation, such as grinding and power tool cleaning, where required
- Degreasing and decontamination to remove oils, salts, and residues
