AMPP Senior Certified Coatings Inspector
As the NACE International, Corrosion Society and SSPC,
The Society for Protective Coatings have merged to form the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), also the NACE Certification has been changed.
My NACE Level 3 Coating Inspector certificate is now changed to the AMPP certification. The AMPP society will stand as a unified voice for the corrosion control and protective coatings industries. The AMPP Senior Certified Coatings Inspectors are recognized as experts in their field. They have expert knowledge in all areas of coating inspection including: surface preparation, coating types, inspection criteria, lab testing, and failure modes for various coatings, including specialized coatings and linings.
These AMPP certified coating inspectors are used as independent source of knowledge related to all kind of different coating subjects.

A very Happy New Year!
The first year of Box Coating has been a success despite the Corona pandemic.
I have been providing consultancy services for several customers such as global paint manufacturers and coating suppliers for pipelines.
Coating inspection for vendor approval and qualification purposes have been executed for projects and customers at the locations of the customers. This includes steel structures such as valves, line pipe for the oil & gas industry, and steel structures for offshore wind projects.
A main activity is the role of Coating Subject Matter Expert for the Crosswind HKN offshore wind project. For some French offshore wind farms I have been involved in review of coating related documentation (specifications and ITP).
You can still contact me for consultancy and inspection jobs.
Last but not least: Box Coating is the official shirtsponsor of a local football team!
