NACE Certified Coatings & Linings Inspection

To help prevent loss of product and environmental damage due to corrosion failure of a tank, the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) has provided recommendations and procedures for specifying and applying anti-corrosion coatings and linings.

What are Your Options?

To gain a complete understanding of the requirements and problems of corrosion control at a tank farm, terminal or refinery, an individual from the facility is able to apply for the NACE inspector acceptance and attend the NACE schools, NACE I, NACE II, and NACE III, and then finally passing a peer review. Alternatively, a facility is able to contract the NACE III certified inspector through a cost effective contracted service.

Why Use Varec as Your Designated NACE Inspector?
