Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Management
Services
Protect Your Assets, Minimize Risks, and Ensure Long-Term Reliability
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is one of the most severe threats to industrial assets, leading to hidden damage, costly repairs, and potential safety hazards. At TES Canada, we provide a comprehensive and proven approach to detect, assess, and mitigate CUI risks—helping you keep your facility safe, compliant, and operational.
Why CUI Management is Critical?
CUI occurs when moisture becomes trapped under insulation, leading to accelerated corrosion that weakens critical infrastructure. It’s a hidden threat that affects:
✅ Pipelines
✅ Pressure vessels
✅ Storage tanks
✅ Heat exchangers
✅ Processing equipment
Failure to manage CUI can result in:
❌ Unexpected equipment failures
❌ Unplanned downtime
❌ Expensive emergency repairs
❌ Regulatory non-compliance risks
TES Canada’s proven inspection and risk-based approach ensures early detection and effective remediation—saving your business time and money.
