Case Study: MacTaggart Scott

 Safeguarding Submarines Against Corrosion

Introduction

MacTaggart Scott Australia, a division of an international company, was established in Australia 12 years ago. The company specialises in refurbishing and maintaining submarine equipment. This equipment, situated outside the submarine's pressure hull, is constantly exposed to seawater, a factor that can cause considerable corrosion. To guard their equipment against this corrosive damage, high-quality painting is of utmost importance.

Rigorous Specification Requirements Led Them To Defence Coating Systems

Given the demanding environment of submarine equipment, MacTaggart Scott has a rigorous specification for painted finishes. This led them to Defence Coating Systems (DCS), a provider of painting and blasting services. Over the past 11 years, DCS has not only met these exacting standards but has become their one-stop shop for all of MacTaggart Scott's powder coating requirements.
