TRAINING

Paintel Training Centre

Why is ICATS training important?

ICATS courses deliver the knowledge for Operatives to carry out educated industrial coating processes. Having a workforce accredited by the Institute of Corrosion will allow coatings companies to better demonstrate their capability to tackle painting projects in an efficient and professional way. This accreditation is a mandatory requirement by Highways UK (England, Wales & Scotland), Network Rail, Ministry of Defence, Oil companies and other industry sectors.

Given the cost and complexity of modern high performance coatings, training applicators to ICATS accreditation has fast become a necessity. There is now no reason why contractors should risk using unqualified operatives, when paying for the training is an inexpensive option compared to correcting a failed system.

ABOUT

PAINTING INSPECTION

Painting Inspection is essential for the Industrial Painting Industry. As the cost of coatings have increased and the expectations of clients are higher, having an Independent Painting Inspector on site can assist all parties on site to deliver what the client wants. Painting Inspectors are on site to advise and enable all site operatives to complete their task. They provide quality assurance while also being commercially aware.

BS EN 28402 :1991 defines inspection as:

“Activities such as measuring, examining, testing, gauging one or more characteristics of a product or service and comparing these with specified requirements to dertemine conformity”

Paintel has three ICorr (Institute of Corrosion) Painting Inspectors. Headed by Kevin Harold with his ICorr Level 3 Painting Inspection, the highest qualification achievable by ICorr. Rob Hurley also level 3 ICorr Painting Inspector and Tom Harold, level 2 ICorr Painting Inspector. Paintel prides itself on detailed inspections of site work. These painting inspections ensure that the contractor is reassured that the technical elements of painting, such as wet and dry film thicknesses, environmental conditions and the required standard of surface preparation are compliant with the specification.

Qualitative Lead Testing

Paintel Painting Inspectors can perform Lead Tests prior to any work taking place. This shall provide qualitative or qualitative evidence for the presence of Lead depending on the clients requirements.

A selection from a Painting Inspectors kit

Painting Inspectors are trained in Digital and Analogue Inspection Equipment so that inspections can always take place. If you require a Painting Inspector please use our Contact Page.
