Frequently Asked Questions

  • Which industries does Defender Corrosion Control work in?

    Defence, marine and defence-maritime, mining, oil and gas, and government and public infrastructure. The common thread is independent coating inspection and corrosion consultancy on high-value assets in demanding environments.

  • Do you only work in Western Australia?

    We are Perth-based with a genuine local presence, and we support clients across Western Australia and beyond. Contact us with your asset and location to discuss.

  • What makes Defender independent?

    We have no commercial relationship with any coating manufacturer or applicator, so every finding we report serves the asset owner, not a supplier. That independence is the point of engaging a third-party inspector.
