Protecting critical pipeline and facility infrastructure through standard-led surface preparation, industrial coatings, and continuous integrity monitoring.
The Nigerian midstream and downstream sectors expose steel infrastructure to severe environmental and chemical stressors. Without engineered intervention, metal degradation compromises pressure containment and forces unplanned facility shutdowns.
Tapcape does not simply apply paint; we engineer protective barriers. Our corrosion division manages the complete preservation lifecycle for ageing and newly fabricated assets.
We deploy NACE-compliant methodologies to remove existing oxidation, prepare bare metal to exact profile tolerances, and apply high-performance industrial coatings that ensure long-term structural integrity.
Contact our field operations desk for current sectional replacement enquiries, technical specifications, and terms.
Abrasive grit and sandblasting to achieve required cleanliness standards (e.g., SA 2.5 or SA 3) and surface profiles prior to coating.
Application of high-build epoxies, polyurethanes, and thermal spray aluminum (TSA) to insulate steel from corrosive environments.
Application of heat-shrink sleeves and visco-elastic wraps to protect weld seams and buried pipe sections.
Installation and monitoring of sacrificial anode and impressed current systems to prevent galvanic corrosion on submerged or buried assets.
Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) gauging and visual inspections to map metal loss and determine the remaining lifespan of active lines.
Evaluating the current state of the asset to determine the required level of intervention and metal loss.
Verifying ambient conditions—including dew point, relative humidity, and steel temperature—before any abrasive work begins.
Removing mill scale, rust, and old coatings via controlled abrasive blasting to expose a clean, profiled steel substrate.
Deploying airless spray systems to apply primers, intermediate coats, and topcoats to exact Dry Film Thickness (DFT) specifications.
Allowing proper chemical cross-linking, followed by pull-off adhesion testing and holiday (pinhole) detection.
Delivering a comprehensive inspection report detailing all environmental readings, abrasive profiles, and DFT measurements.
Unmanaged corrosion directly impacts operational safety and financial overhead. Relying on Tapcape for systematic corrosion management guarantees three critical outcomes for your facility:
Prevent structural degradation before it impacts your production output. Engage our coating specialists to audit your facility or pipeline network.
