How can we Help?
decades of experience
Trusted by Industry Leaders
Our Advanced Certifications
3eplus is led by Leandro Etcheverry, an AMPP-Certified Cathodic Protection Specialist (CP4) and Senior Coatings Inspector (Level 3) - these are the highest level certifications in cathodic protection and coatings awarded by the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP).
A Process with You in Mind
Listen
We believe that the first step of any evaluation involves listening to our client's goals and constraints. Goals could be take form of service life extension requirements, aesthetic requirements, etc. Constraints, for example, could involve the need to work around a process or to stay under a certain budget.
Review
Once the your project's goals and constraints are understood, the next step involves a thorough review of available information - it is unnecessary to collect data or gather information which already exists. With the benefit from the document review, we design a specialized scope of services.
Test
3eplus' staff is experienced in conducting field testing utilizing both non-destructive and semi-destructive testing techniques. Samples are obtained in the field for laboratory testing. The nature of the discovery process is that hidden conditions may arise. 3eplus has the flexibility to redirect field efforts to evaluate and understand such hidden field conditions.
Analyze
Once the field and laboratory testing is completed, the data is analyzed. The analysis of the data involves the cumulative body of field and laboratory testing data. Graphs and models could be useful toward this pursuit.
Recommend
The recommendations can be presented in a written report, slide presentation and/or design documents (plans and specifications). We are not affiliated with material suppliers or contractors, and provide independent and unbiased recommendations.
