Why Use KTA for Coating Inspection?

KTA’s founder, Kenneth Tator, conceived and developed the process of independent paint inspection in 1961 that is now an internationally recognized and valued construction practice. Since it’s inception, KTA has provided a broad range of in-process inspection services to verify that surface preparation, coating system, and lining application are performed in accordance with specifications.

KTA is recognized as an industry leader in independent coatings technology and inspection services. We were the first to be certified under SSPC-QP 5 “Standard Procedure for Evaluating the Qualifications of Coatings and Lining Inspection Companies” and have maintained this certification in good standing ever since. KTA’s unparalleled paint inspection experience includes work on all types of structural steel, tanks, ships, bridges, sports stadiums, pipelines, oil fields, chemical plants, and nuclear facilities, as well as commercial properties and buildings.

Because of our in-house orientation and on-going mentoring programs, KTA has the largest pool of independent SSPC-QP 5 and NACE certified field staff in the industry. KTA technicians and specialists have extensive experience in both fabrication shops and the field. Most importantly, they have access to KTA’s industry-leading coatings laboratory and consulting professionals.
