eCorrplan
eCorrplan sm for
Coatings has been developed to give
managers the tools to implement, monitor
and continuously improve enterprise-wide
corrosion control programs using web-based
protocols and reporting formats that
allow for:
> |
Organization of protected facilities
by focusing on logical work actions |
| > |
Establishment of standardized
materials and processes used in controlling
corrosion |
| > |
Documentation of condition
over time with a minimum effort – using
standardized evaluation techniques |
| > |
Generation of recommended
maintenance work using standardized metrics |
| > |
Rapid access to data
and reports from multiple locations without
the need for proprietary, resident software
and network systems |
Timely
and concise reports, generated dynamically, forecast
work, recommend optimum times to conduct work,
track performance of systems, and calculate the
costs associated with deferring maintenance coating
work. The end result is a better managed
program that saves money.

PROGRAM
MANAGEMENT
Successful protective coatings maintenance and repair programs begin
with assessing the current conditions and collecting data pertinent
to the owner’s maintenance philosophy. A comprehensive plan
to preserve the physical assets, minimize impact on operations, ensure
regulatory compliance and reduce the life-cycle cost of installed
coating systems forms the core of the program. Elements of a successful
program include: knowledge based standards, unique project specifications,
qualified materials and applicators, quality assurance/control, and
data/information management systems. Web-enabled database services
and systems are available to streamline coatings program management.
The goal of a successful protective coatings maintenance program
is maximizing the return on dollars invested in corrosion control
and protective coatings installations.
