Frequently asked

Questions our clients ask most often.

Do you handle field-joint and repair coatings?+

Yes. We apply field-joint coatings on pipelines and carry out coating repairs and touch-ups to the specified system, with the same surface-prep and inspection discipline as the main coating.

Are applicators trained and certified?+

Our applicators are trained on the specific coating systems and work under coating inspectors (NACE/AMPP / BGAS-CSWIP) who verify each stage against the data sheet and specification.

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 protective coating application 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.
