The first long term contract for surface maintenance painting based on a functional specification was awarded in 1996. An extensive audit carried out in September of 2005 showed that the contract concept has turned out to be very successful. Additionally, it has contributed to bringing coating contractors into the “premier league” of the Norwegian contractor industry.

The functional specification for surface maintenance is now the technical basis for Company contracts covering 24 offshore platforms, 1 refinery and 2 onshore gas processing facilities with a total coated surface area of 8.4 million M2 (90 million ft2).
