Industries · Singapore & Southeast Asia
Surface preparation & coating for Jurong Island and the refining sector
In-service corrosion repair, tank and vessel linings and equipment refurbishment for Singapore’s refineries, petrochemical complexes and terminals, planned around your permit-to-work and turnaround windows.
The situation on site
Working in this sector
Process units on Jurong Island, Pulau Bukom and Tuas run continuously, sit metres apart and operate under strict permit-to-work systems. Abrasive blasting on a live unit means containment, a blasting risk assessment and neighbouring contractors standing down , so spot corrosion on pipe racks, supports, vessels and tank roofs is often left until the next turnaround.
Flakecoat prepares steel in place with ATEX-approved MontiPower® Bristle Blaster® tools (no grit, no containment, no open flame) and follows with glass-flake, ceramic-epoxy or urethane systems matched to the service. Our crews hold site inductions with the major operators, work to the plant’s PTW, and document cleanliness, profile and film thickness for your inspector.

Questions we get asked
Before you tender
Learn more about our heritage and the specialized services we provide.
Can you work on a live unit without a shutdown?
Yes. Pneumatic ATEX-approved Bristle Blaster® tools are designed for hazardous zones and produce no grit or open flame. Work is carried out under the plant’s permit-to-work; we supply the tool certificates and method statement for your risk assessment.
Do you have site clearance for Jurong Island?
Our crews are inducted with the major operators and hold the passes required for Jurong Island and the terminals. Tell us the site on your enquiry and we confirm access lead time.
Which coating systems do you apply for chemical service?
Glass-flake vinyl ester (NV6000 series) for aggressive chemical and seawater immersion, glass-flake polyester (P2000S) for external steel and splash zones, and ceramic-reinforced epoxy for erosion and rebuilds. We recommend the system against your service conditions and confirm it with the coating datasheet.
