COVAC are the industry leaders in providing long-term protective coating solutions to the problem of corroding /  eroding water retaining structures, regardless of the size or type of structure and only uses 3M Scotchkote™ 165PW to give a clean and high quality environment for any stored water.  Established for over 12 years, COVAC have built up an impressive portfolio of satisfied major clients that appreciate the professional, full project management the company offer, from initial site survey, supply and application of the DWI/WRAS approved coating, followed by a complete stage by stage photographic report of the project.

Adrian Emmett of COVAC said “We know that managers of public sector facilities face a number of water hygiene-related risks, including corrosion and bacterial growth such as Legionella, Pseudomonas and Biofilm; It is vital that public sector managers take care to ensure their facilities are well maintained, but with more demanding budgets this can be difficult, so our clients find our minimum 10 year sole responsibility guarantee very reassuring”.

The firm has worked with a number of public sector clients including, Local Government Authorities, Health and Education Authorities, international airports, Ministry of Defence and various leisure facilities.
