Services
Internal lining systems
Specialized internal coating applications protect piping systems from corrosion in challenging environments. Our NACE 1/SSPC-SP5 compliant process uses multi-coat epoxy systems to achieve 10-15 mils DFT. Quality assurance includes holiday testing and calibrated thickness verification for critical infrastructure in oil & gas and water treatment sectors.
External coating systems
Durable external coating solutions for above- and below-grade applications. We apply zinc coatings and polyurethane systems using conventional-spray and airless spray methods. Our processes meet industry standards for pipeline bends, pressure vessels, and produced water systems with comprehensive QC documentation.
Field applied coatings
Mobile coating solutions for tanks, vessels, and piping systems in operational environments. Our team applies CSA Z245.30-compliant 100% solids epoxies and enamel paints using brush/roll or spray methods. Services include under-insulation coatings and high-temperature protection systems for industrial clients.
Quality assurance
Comprehensive quality control with AMPP-certified inspectors and calibrated equipment. We document surface profiles, coating thickness, and holiday testing per NACE standards. Third-party verification ensures compliance with client specifications and industry best practices for all coating applications.
Environmental compliance
Eco-conscious operations with waste management programs and recycling initiatives. Our COR-certified safety protocols include annual fit testing, hazard assessments, and compliance with Alberta Construction Safety Association standards.

Report
I've worked with Brothers for roughly 14 years on a variety of coating application jobs. They are simply the best applicators out there, which at times is extremely difficult to find in this industry. The companies; experience, care, attention to detail and quality control are unmatched within the industry.
