CUI is one of the costliest integrity problems in refinery and chemical service, and it stays hidden until the insulation comes off. Valu Industrial handles the whole scope — insulation removal, surface prep, coating, and reinsulation — for owner-operators and EPCs along the Houston Ship Channel and the Texas Gulf Coast.
Splitting CUI work between an insulation contractor and a paint contractor adds handoffs, standby time, and finger-pointing. We self-perform the full sequence.
Remove jacketing and insulation, document the as-found condition with photos, and mark corrosion and pitting for the inspector.
Abrasive blasting to the specified SSPC/NACE cleanliness and profile, including hard-to-reach areas around supports, nozzles, and fittings.
High-temperature and CUI-rated coating systems applied to your owner spec — or we help you choose one — with DFT readings and holiday testing.
New insulation and weatherproof jacketing, sealed at the penetrations where water gets in, so the problem doesn't come back.
Full CUI remediation across ten piping circuits at a chemical plant on the Houston Ship Channel: insulation removal, blasting, high-temperature coating, and reinsulation, sequenced circuit by circuit to keep the unit running.
