Industrial Coatings Inspection in Aberdeen
Coatings inspection firms working on tanks, pipelines, structures and offshore assets can use the Atlantis NDT ERP to run their inspection work. NDT Reports includes a Holiday/coating report type with its own numbering sequence, alongside UT thickness (UTT), VT and other methods often performed on the same assets. Reports capture work order, request, contract, drawing, procedure and standard references, an overall result, and inspector, reviewer and approver signatures.
Company report templates in Excel, Word, PDF or HTML can reproduce the formats clients expect, with Excel templates filled automatically from mapped fields. Inspector qualifications can be recorded in Certificates, using the 'other' scheme option for coating inspector certifications, with expiry warnings. Holiday detectors, film thickness gauges and other instruments are tracked by serial number with calibration records and certificate expiry alerts. Detailed environmental condition logging and hold-point sign-off sequences are configured during implementation where needed.
Scope the implementation in Aberdeen
Use your own report templates, personnel records and equipment register to evaluate the proposed configuration. Confirm the contracting entity, hosting location, support hours, data access and any onsite work in the proposal. Location in this guide does not establish a local office, customer endorsement or pre-approved configuration.
Records and controls to evaluate
- Holiday/coating report type with its own numbering sequence
- UTT, VT and other method reports in the same app
- Work order, contract, drawing, procedure and standard references
- Inspector, reviewer and approver signatures
- Excel templates filled automatically from mapped fields
- Inspector qualification records with 'other' scheme option and expiry warnings
- Serial-number calibration records for holiday detectors and gauges
- Offline field app for site work
Follow the work from start to finish
The job is set up as a project with the client's coating specification, drawings and acceptance criteria referenced. Inspectors are dispatched through Team Assignments with holiday detectors and gauges that have been checked against the calibration register. On site, they record holiday test and thickness results in the offline field app with photos and an on-screen signature, working without signal where necessary. Once synced, reports are reviewed and approved, and output in the client's template, with Excel layouts filled automatically.
The client's third-party inspector can sign where required. Approved hours, equipment and consumables are invoiced against the client PO.
Check the evidence, permissions and handover
Many coatings contractors also carry out UT thickness and VT on the same assets. Having Holiday/coating, UTT and VT reports in one app, with one review workflow and shared templates, keeps the client's close-out package consistent.
During the trial, ask one user to create a record and another to review it. Make a correction, check which version a customer receives, and export the final record with its references. Record any manual steps or configuration gaps in the acceptance checklist.
Software organises evidence; it does not grant personnel certification, laboratory accreditation or customer approval. Confirm the requirements that apply to your work with the responsible technical or quality manager.
Questions about industrial coatings inspection
Is there a report type for holiday testing?
Yes. Holiday/coating is one of the 17 report types, with its own numbering sequence.
Can we record coating inspector certifications?
Yes. Certificates can be recorded under the 'other' scheme option with level, certifying body and expiry.
Does the system log environmental conditions and hold points?
Not as standard. These are configured during implementation if they are part of the agreed scope.
