SAM™ is a ground-breaking, easy-to-use, digital inspection application that streamlines all aspects of NDT management and coating inspection. The user friendly, highly intuitive software can be applied across a range of industries including Energy, Subsea, Renewables, Marine, Transport & Infrastructure and the Industrial sector.

SAM™ can also manage new build projects providing full cradle to grave traceability.

The Degradation Forecasting Module [DFM] has just been launched which allows any asset owner to accurately forecast future coating failure and apply campaign budgets to mitigate 

Every piece of inspection data collected via the web or tablet is instantly saved to secure servers. SAM™ creates skilfully formatted and concise documentation that is available anytime to download or send direct from the desktop or tablet. The software logs coating product, blast media, and all other essential variables for successful and concise reports.

SAM™ is a fresh and unique approach to corrosion prevention and has been developed with simplicity and efficiency at the forefront of its design. The technology removes duplication of tasks and creates a single point of access to monitor corrosion and manage the execution of coating systems, passive fire protection and insulation instalment.

The pioneering technology was developed in 2017 after a team of specialists at Surface Corrosion quickly realised the majority of service providers and major operators are still managing their corrosion protection using sub-contractors and colossal spreadsheets.

In the constant drive for efficiency, the app now interfaces directly to Elcometer gauges that are Bluetooth enabled. Using a tablet and Bluetooth technology the coatings inspector and technician digitally records all inspection requirements from NDT onwards including MPI, UT, Visual, environmental readings, DFTs, images and much more in real-time onsite.

SAM™ functionality includes:

  • Conditional Surveys
  • Survey & Inspection Reviews 
  • Degradation Forecasting Module
  • Campaign & Scope Management
  • Progress and Productivity 
  • Analysis & Reporting
  • Critical Repair Management

The in-house team at Surface Corrosion offers a comprehensive training package as well as providing technical support and updates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
