Services

Safinah provides authoritative, expert advice on the whole chain of activities that links ships, structures, coatings and the environment.

We can help you protect the value of your assets by minimising potential problems in the design, specification and fabrication stages. Coating costs around $10 per sqm at this stage to get it right – but it can cost up to $4,500 per sqm to repair if it goes wrong.

When a problem does arise, the breadth of our experience means that we can analyse and identify quickly the cause of the problem and recommend efficient and cost-effective solutions.

Our services cover:

We have also developed a suite of software products to help you manage the coatings process.
