Construction

Technical solutions for assets with high structural demand from the construction stage. The construction and industrial infrastructure sector requires assets with structural integrity, durability, and reliable operation. Exposed to variable climates, severe industrial environments, and mechanical demands, these systems can deteriorate rapidly if not protected from the design phase. At Aplika Control Corrosión, we integrate industrial coatings, passive protection, and technical engineering services to guarantee the conservation of metallic structures, concrete, and equipment.

Applicable Solutions for Construction and Infrastructure

• Anticorrosive Coatings (ISO 12944): Systems to protect racks, metallic structures, and supports in industrial, coastal, or high-humidity environments.
• Coatings for CUI, CUF, and High Temperature (AMPP SP0198): Designed for pipelines and thermal equipment where corrosion under insulation and fireproofing presents a high operational risk.
• Passive Fire Protection – PFP (UL 1709 / Jet Fire): Structural protection systems for steel and concrete to maintain stability against industrial fires.
• Reinforcement and Repair with Composites (ASME PCC2 / ISO 24817): Application of composite materials for the rehabilitation of metallic structures and pipelines without immediate replacements.
• Concrete Protection and Rehabilitation: Solutions for industrial floors and structural elements focused on waterproofing and chemical resistance.
• Grouting and Industrial Anchors (API RP 686 / ACI 351.1R): Epoxy or non-shrink cementitious grouting to ensure stability, alignment, and load transfer in heavy equipment.
• Technical Consultancy and QA/QC Inspection: Diagnosis, technical specifications, and quality control under international AMPP standards.

Deterioration Factors and Operational Risks

Industrial infrastructures face damage mechanisms that affect their safety and functionality:

• Atmospheric Corrosion: Exposure to humidity, industrial pollutants, and climatic variations.
• Corrosion in Metallic Structures: Especially in hard-to-reach areas or those with deficient protection.
• Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI/CUF): Present in thermal systems, insulated equipment, and fireproofed structures.
• Chemical and Mechanical Attack: On concrete and steel surfaces in process plants.
• Risks Associated with Industrial Fire: Situations that can compromise structural stability.

Operational and Economic Benefits

• Structural durability from the construction stage.
• Fewer corrective interventions and better planning.
• Greater operational safety in critical infrastructures.
• Regulatory compliance with international standards.
• Resource optimization in construction and maintenance.
