Utilities & Transformer Painting

The longevity and investment of Transformers is dependant on their maintenance. Transformers can stay operational for many decades, but during their life cycle, it is subject to corrosion, which, if not rectified, can result in leaks or being out of service with costly repairs.

Continuous preservation of the Transformers coating and steel through its life cycle will reduce the additional costs of unnecessary repairs and downtime.

C.I.P. (Commercial & Industrial Painters) can help.

Our C.I.P. (Commercial & Industrial Painters) team of inspectors and estimators are available to review the condition of your transformer. We provide a specification and a free quotation that meets the requirements of protecting your transformer for many years.

Our team completes regular and frequent training to ensure they work safely and effectively in high-risk environments – challenges that are frequently encountered in the Utility industry. C.I.P. specializes in safely completing the painting of transformers at energized substations.

C.I.P. provides a variety of methods in preparing and coating transformers. Our teams will assess the correct system based on the transformer’s environment and condition.

Transformers consist of cooling radiators, which can be manufactured with fine-gauge steel. These radiators are more susceptible to corrosion and can be hard to coat by using standard painting methods.

C.I.P. applies the protective coating to radiators using the method of ‘flow coating.’ A procedure that usually takes place in the manufacturing process we can apply in the field. Flow coating ensures all radiator components will be 100% coated.

C.I.P (Commercial & Industrial Painters) also provides an industrial cleaning service to maintain the coatings from contaminants, which can aide corrosion.
