We are also experts in the application of a wide range of new technologies such as sprayable insulation composite coatings.

Types of insulation materials:

SMS Services is an expert in CUI technology. We have developed advanced methodologies to assist our customers in identifying areas where CUI is likely to occur. As experienced insulation and anticorrosion specialists, we are proficient in detecting the causes of water ingress into or under all types of insulation systems.

Our engineers can carry out thermographic inspections to detect CUI (without the assets having to be taken out of operation). During the initial engineering phase of asset development and when planning inspection routines, we evaluate your potential risks of CUI and design sustainable solutions to avoid its consequences in the long run.

If CUI is identified as an issue requiring intervention at your site, our personnel can execute all operations from simple maintenance to complete insulation removal, steel repair/treatment and insulation replacement to solve the problem for you.
