Zero Corrosion, Zero Compromise: Preserving Industrial Assets in Harsh Environments

Industrial assets operating in harsh environments—whether offshore, onshore, coastal, or in tropical climates—are continuously exposed to corrosion, degradation, and premature failure. In sectors such as oil & gas, energy, mining, and heavy industry, corrosion is not just a maintenance issue; it is a direct threat to safety, asset integrity, and operational continuity.

At Equipprotek Energy, we believe in one principle: zero corrosion, zero compromise.

The Hidden Cost of Corrosion

Corrosion and improper storage can lead to:

• Loss of mechanical integrity

• Equipment failure at commissioning

• Increased maintenance and replacement costs

• Delays to project schedules

• HSE risks and potential incidents

Many failures occur before equipment is even commissioned, often during storage, transportation, or extended lay-up periods. This is where structured preservation becomes critical.

Harsh Environments Demand Structured Preservation

High humidity, salt-laden air, temperature fluctuations, sand, and UV exposure accelerate corrosion processes. Without a structured preservation program, even new equipment can deteriorate rapidly.

Equipprotek Energy provides Inspection and Preservation services designed to maintain asset condition from receipt to commissioning, ensuring that materials, equipment, and infrastructure remain fully operational and compliant.

Our Standards: NORSOK Z-006 (2nd Edition, 2001)

All our preservation activities are executed in accordance with NORSOK Z-006 – Preservation, Packaging, Packing and Marking, 2nd Edition (2001). This internationally recognized standard defines best practices for:

• Corrosion protection

• Storage and lay-up requirements

• Inspection intervals

• Documentation and traceability

• Preservation methods for mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation equipment

By applying NORSOK Z-006, we ensure repeatability, compliance, and audit-ready processes aligned with oil & gas operator expectations.

Inspection and Preservation Services

Our Inspection and Preservation services cover the full asset lifecycle, including:

• Incoming material and equipment inspection

• Preservation assessment and gap analysis

• Application of corrosion protection (VCI, coatings, desiccants, nitrogen blanketing, etc.)

• Preservation of rotating, static, electrical, and instrumentation equipment

• Periodic inspection, re-preservation, and condition reporting

• Long-term storage and lay-up management (onshore and offshore)

Our approach is preventive, systematic, and documented, reducing unplanned costs and eliminating corrosion-related surprises at start-up.

Safety, Reliability, and Asset Integrity

Preservation is not only about protecting steel—it is about protecting people, projects, and production. Poorly preserved equipment increases the risk of leaks, failures, and unsafe operations.

By maintaining assets in a “ready-for-service” condition, Equipprotek Energy supports:

• HSE risk reduction

• Asset integrity management

• Operational reliability

• Extended equipment lifecycle

Zero Corrosion Means Zero Compromise

At Equipprotek Energy, preservation is treated as a critical control barrier, not an afterthought. Our commitment is simple:

• Zero corrosion to your inventory

• Zero compromise on standards

• Zero tolerance for asset degradation

Whether during transport, storage, or extended project delays, we ensure your assets remain protected—ready when you need them.
