Ensuring Quality FRP Tank Fabrication With On-Site Shop Audits

Conducting independent shop audits during fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) vessel manufacturing is the single most effective way to catch fabrication defects before equipment arrives on site.

Maverick Applied Science inspectors verify critical fabrication stages—including mandrel preparation, corrosion barrier glass-to-resin ratio, structural layups, secondary bonding of nozzles, and Barcol hardness / acetone sensitivity resin cure testing.

By enforcing ASME RTP-1 and ASTM D3299 quality standards during shop lamination, owners avoid field delays and costly premature vessel liner degradation.
