Canadian corrosion-protection contractor using robotic abrasive blasting and coating for oil & gas, mining, and nuclear tank assets in Alberta.
Spence Corrosion Services Ltd is a Canadian-owned and operated specialty contractor headquartered in Nisku, Alberta (507 13 Avenue, Nisku, AB T9E 7P4). The company employs approximately 23 staff and generates roughly CAD 5.3 million in annual revenue. Founded and led by president Norman Spence, the firm serves the Oil and Gas, Mining, Petrochemical, Nuclear, and Fertilizer industries across Canada, providing corrosion-protection services for tanks, vessels, and piping.
Spence distinguishes itself as a single-source provider combining robotic and conventional surface preparation and coating technologies. Its robotic services include automated abrasive blasting, vacuuming, interior and exterior protective coating application, and condition inspections using robot arm systems that remove workers from hazardous blast environments. Non-robotic services extend to ultra-high-pressure water jetting, conventional abrasive blasting, industrial coatings, fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) linings, and rubber linings.
The company employs NACE-certified inspectors who use the latest non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies to evaluate asset condition and remaining service life. Spence holds a Certificate of Recognition (COR) in health and safety and maintains a dedicated full-time safety professional on staff. The introduction of robotic systems has allowed the company to expand its workforce while increasing output capacity—a fact highlighted by Norman Spence in an interview with CBC Radio One, where he noted that robotics in his firm are net job creators rather than job eliminators.
Spence Corrosion is also affiliated with the Willow Lake Métis Group, which has formed an alliance with Spence for predictive maintenance and corrosion technology innovation in Alberta. Phone: (780) 955-3039; Fax: (780) 955-3038.
