What is Decorative Painting?

At Gopinath Group, we understand that the scope of industrial site painting means, preparation and coatings; which may range from pipelines to power, from ships to tanks and so on… Each of these facilities require interior and exterior painting, as that is important to a facility’s structure and functionality.

Many industrial facilities never sleep as they are supplying our homes and businesses with power, fuel or water. Even the smallest disruption to an industrial facility and the service they provide caused by corrosion, may cause tens of thousands to go without power or other services. When a facility of this magnitude incurs a disruption, the costs that are incurred from downtime can be catastrophic to their business.
