Expert Reports & Damage Analysis in Cases of Corrosion

In iron based stainless steel corrosion science, damage is rarely monocausal or one-dimensional. NIROPLAN provides forensic analyses – documented in a transparent and usable manner for plant operators and process owners in the sensitive pharmaceutical and biotech sector, food production and ultrahigh purity gas industry as well as for insurances or legal proceedings.

Services

  • Structured damage assessment and photo and videoscope documentation
  • Microscopy, metallography, SEM-EDX, XRF, electrochemical corrosion testing, salt spray testing (partner laboratory), CPT, CPP
  • Detailed problem analysis and root cause matrix inclusive evaluation
  • Measures for remediation and future prevention
  • Prioritised remediation options, including cost estimates

How can NIROPLAN help?

We separate cause from effect, assess measures, clarify liability issues/mechanisms and provide prioritised, technically substantiated remediation plans.
