Preservation engineering

As an expert in preservation engineering and maintenance to operational standards, IFS has established itself as a key player for companies seeking to preserve the integrity of their industrial facilities.
Our systematic approach to corrosion management is designed for all industrial sectors: Energy (nuclear, thermal, biomass and renewable energy power stations), Petrochemicals and Chemicals, Metallurgy, Shipbuilding and Aerospace.
IFS is dedicated to the design and implementation of Corrosion Management Systems. Our aim is to enable our clients to reduce their risks and costs and maximise the performance of their assets.
From corrosion risk analysis to the implementation of solutions, IFS offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to your needs:
- Corrosion risk assessment and analysis: Identification of potential corrosion factors, assessment of the environment and materials, evaluation of operating conditions.
- Implementation of Corrosion Management Systems: Design and implementation of strategies to anticipate, manage and minimise corrosion risks throughout the asset lifecycle.
- Engineering and preventive maintenance solutions: Implementation of tailored maintenance plans to ensure the longevity of industrial facilities.
- Training and support: Raising awareness and training internal teams in corrosion management. Best practices and solutions tailored to each industrial context.
Our added value
Technical expertise : A team of specialist engineers and technicians with in-depth knowledge of corrosion issues and both preventive and remedial solutions.
Tailor-made solutions : Services tailored to the specific requirements of each project and each installation
Innovation and performance : The integration of innovative technologies. Improving corrosion management, reducing maintenance costs and extending the service life of industrial equipment.

Audits et diagnostics
IFS carries out comprehensive on-site technical audits to assess the performance of corrosion protection systems.
These audits include an analysis of the processes used, compliance with standards, and the identification of any discrepancies or potential failures.
The assessment enables us to propose targeted solutions, whether these involve improving protocols, carrying out refurbishments or reinforcing protective measures.

Visual inspection and testing
Our visual inspections are carried out by experts trained to detect early signs of corrosion or coating degradation.
They make use of measuring tools (thickness gauges, borescope cameras, etc.) and standardised methods (ISO, NACE).
The analyses enable us to accurately document the condition of surfaces, assess the performance of treatments, and guide decisions regarding maintenance or renewal.
