Corrosion is the deterioration of a material or its properties due to its reaction with the environment. Materials may include metals and alloys, non-metals, wood, ceramics, plastics, composites etc. Corrosion can occur through chemical or electrochemical reactions and is usually an interfacial process between a material and its environment.

Our method of corrosion prevention is the application of protective coatings to provide an effective barrier to corrosion and include metallic, chemical conversion, inorganic non-metallic and organic coatings. Prior to the application of an effective coating on the metal, it is necessary to clean the surface to remove dirt, salts, grease, old coatings of paint, oxides such mill scales and rust.
This is carried out with the use of abrasives such as copper slag via high pressure blasting equipment.

We offer blasting and painting services to our customers both in Singapore and Batam mainly in the marine, oil and gas, and other industries.

Our fabrication yard in Singapore has a manual blasting chamber that can accommodate structures and pipe dimensions of up to 6m by 18m. Our fabrication yard in Batam operates an auto-blast machine within a semi-automatic blasting chamber with a dimensional capacity of 6m by 24m and a copper slag processing plant.

We mainly provide corrosion prevention services to shipyards which require our blasting and painting services as part of their shipbuilding, ship conversion and ship repair activities. Generally, we provide our corrosion prevention services for the external hull of ships and onboard the vessel. External hull corrosion prevention involve the blasting and painting of the vessel’s external hull, whilst onboard vessel corrosion prevention services involves the blasting and painting of the vessel’s structures such as tank internals, ship decks, accommodation and other storage tanks.

Generally, shipbuilding, ship conversion and ship repair activities require a wide spectrum of work and services which include works on steel structures, piping systems, corrosion prevention, carpentry, electrical, engineering and mechanical systems. Ship conversion generally involves the conversion of vessel type for different function, for example, the conversion of a cargo vessel to a livestock carrier, jumboisation of vessel and FPSO/FSO conversion. For converting a vessel to an FPSO, in addition to the works mentioned in the above, different process modules will need to be fabricated so that the vessel can carry out oil and gas exploration and production work.

Usually, the resident ship external hull blasting contractor of a shipyard is required to perform external hull corrosion prevention services within the shipyard’s premises. To qualify as a ship external hull blasting resident contractor, we have to meet and maintain stringent requirements of the respective shipyards in terms of track record, job quality and prompt delivery, amongst others. We have a proud record being resident contractors for nine established shipyards in Singapore and Batam, and are one of the leading contractors that to offer corrosion prevention services.
