About this Office

City Painting Ghana serves Tema as an established coverage area from the practice’s Accra operating base, with a particular concentration on the protective and industrial coating that the city’s fabric demands. Tema is one of the three major cities the practice has worked across since 1983, and its industrial and port-adjacent character sets it apart: warehouses, logistics terminals, industrial plant, and commercial buildings in a coastal environment that loads coatings with salt-laden air, high humidity, and aggressive exposure. Work here is coordinated through the project office to the same specification, QC, and reporting standard applied across the practice.

The defining capability in Tema is industrial protective coating. Steel structures, cladding, plant, and concrete in this environment corrode and abrade far faster than inland commercial buildings, so coating here is asset protection, not decoration. Systems are specified against the real corrosivity of the exposure using the ISO 12944 framework — typically the higher corrosivity categories for Tema’s coastal-industrial setting — over substrates prepared to the blast or preparation grade the system demands, assessed to ISO 8501, with dry-film thickness verified to ISO 2808 through the build. Alongside this, the office delivers the full commercial register: interior and exterior repainting, waterproofing system installation matched to ASTM C836 for roofs and exposed structures, and intumescent fire protection to structural steel verified to a certified rating (BS 476 / EN 13501 / ASTM E119).

Delivery in Tema follows the practice’s continuity-first model, often phased around continuing plant and operations: a survey before specification, sequenced working, low-VOC systems within EPA Ghana limits where occupied space is involved, and a documented QC trail at every stage. The asset owner inherits a coating engineered to survive Tema’s environment and a record that supports maintenance and warranty.
