The Company
Howard Jess Solutions Limited offers coating inspection services to a wide variety of clients in various industries. Our NACE and Frosio certified staff are experienced in commercial and industrial coating inspection, specification writing and project management throughout the world.
Many of our clients are busy handling their own daily operations and they have little time, and perhaps lack the skill and expertise required to handle all of the aspects of a large scale coating project.
Our inspectors have been involved in the coating industry for many years often at a high technical management level, and their experience allows them to utilise the best methods and practices to achieve the desired result within the time frame available.
Our experienced coating inspectors provide quality control and quality assurance inspection of the preparation and painting process on behalf of clients within many industries.
In recent years, inspections have been carried out in many countries Worldwide. These have included working on the new-building of the Rainbow Warrior 3 for Greenpeace, the drydocking of the RSS Ernest Shackleton for the British Antarctic Survey and work on the new-build Disney Fantasy at Meyer Werft in Germany.
