Feasibility
Studies
AFIC
has the appropriate engineering expertise and resources to conduct
feasibility studies on behalf of clients who may wish to determine
the viability of providing corrosion protection for their plant
facilities.
1.
Confirm by field investigations, if a corrosion environment
exists.
2. Determine the
type of corrosion and its effects.
3. Determine the
methods of mitigation.
4. Evaluate costs.
5. Develop technical
specifications.
Site Surveys / Investigations
AFIC’s Cathodic Protection specialists are
qualified to carry out a variety for site surveys/investigations
comprising:
1.
Soil resistivity surveys, using either the 4-pin Wenner method
or Geonics electro-magnetic techniques.
2. Potential and
line current surveys.
3.
Close interval potential survey.
4. Holiday inspection
of pipe coatings and cable insulation tests.
5.
Interaction (interference) testing on foreign structures.
6. Current drainage
surveys.
7.
Insulating flange / coupling di-electric tests.
8. Collection of
any other data that maybe required for the design and upgrade
of C.P. system.
Designs
In-house design facilities are available for all
types of Cathodic Protection Systems onshore and offshore. These
may include either conceptual designs or detailed designs, contingent
(upon available project information). Design packages usually
consist of the following components:
1. Design philosophy.
2. Design criteria.
3. Basic of design.
4. Description of
the system.
5. List of materials.
6. Calculations.
7. Typical materials
catalog cuts/Data sheets/Specifications.
8. Construction/Reference
Drawings.
9. Recommended
spares.
10. Construction/Installation
Procedures
Additionally,
as part of the design function, AFIC engineers also compile manuals
for operation and maintenance for the structures to be provided.
Installation
As
part of its engineering services, AFIC is able to offer comprehensive
installation services to its clients. In cases where the client
may opt to installed the CP material itself or use its own contractor;
AFIC’s engineering department can provide site supervision,
technical support, and site commissioning. Either way, AFIC is
willing and able to offer whatever service the client requires
to satisfy the exacting needs of the project.
Commissioning
Commissioning
support services are locally available, through AFIC’s field
Engineers and technicians to meet the client’s needs.
AFIC stocks
a complete range of test instruments to facilitate all types of
commissioning tests associated with cathodic protection system.
Maintenance
Whether
a cathodic protection system has been designed and supplied by
AFIC or others, AFIC is able to provide a full range of maintenance
services required for periodic field surveys or troubleshooting/restoring
field operations equipment. Such maintenance services include
complete status reports, findings and recommendations.
Quality
Assurance / Quality Control
AFIC
maintains a comprehensive in-house QA/QC Manual and Procedures
to current ISO 9001-2000. All products and services undertaken
by AFIC are subjected to rigorous inspection procedures and monitoring
in accordance with internal and customer-specified controls.
Our QA/QC
personnel monitor the progress of a customer’s order through
every step of manufacturing and assembly process. Packaging and
shipment of the equipment and/or material is carefully controlled
to insure that no damage is done to the equipment or material
during transit to the customer’s job site.
