Frequently asked

Questions our clients ask most often.

How do you control coating quality?+

We monitor ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, dew point and substrate temperature), record WFT during application and DFT after curing, and carry out adhesion and holiday testing against the coating specification.

Which coating systems do you apply?+

Epoxy, polyurethane, zinc-rich and high-build systems per the project specification and ISO 12944 corrosivity category for the environment — including high-temperature and immersion systems.

What certification do you issue?+

A formal report with photographs and findings plus a Certificate of Conformity citing the specific clause references. Hard-copy and electronic certificates are available, and records are retained for audit.

How quickly can GCS mobilise industrial painting in Oman?+

For routine work in Muscat, Sohar or Duqm, mobilisation is typically within 2 working days. Emergency and field jobs can be mobilised same-day, with reports issued within 5 working days.
