Protecting Mission-Critical Infrastructure: From Design to Long-Term Use

Mission-critical infrastructure must be designed and built for reliable long-term performance, even when schedules are compressed and operating demands are high. Experts from Acuren and PPG will discuss how design and specification decisions, surface preparation, protective coatings, inspection, and ongoing maintenance work together across the asset lifecycle. Data centers will serve as a key example within a broader conversation about corrosion risk, construction quality, asset protection, and long-term durability.

In this webcast, attendees will learn:

• How design and specification decisions influence coating performance, inspectability, maintenance, and lifecycle value.
• How to identify warning signs during construction and commissioning that can indicate future corrosion or coating problems.
• How surface preparation, coating selection, application quality, and inspection work together to protect critical assets.
• How to improve collaboration among engineering firms, contractors, owners, and solution providers, particularly when projects face tight schedules.
• How inspection, maintenance, and lifecycle planning can extend asset life, reduce avoidable problems, and support long-term operational success.
