Cathodic Protection 

Sacrificial and impressed current cathodic protection systems are designed by our engineering staff for any structures exposed to an electrolytic medium complete project management offers capability in selection of materials and installation of cathodic protection systems.

CorrTech also provides periodic testing and troubleshooting of operating cathodic protection systems. CorrTech can implement solutions that facilitate management of the operating water system, versus continued management of failures and leaks.

CorrTech designs corrosion solutions. The solutions can be material changes, protective coating specifications, high performance building materials, or cathodic protection systems. All designs meet or exceed the recommendations of our industrial societies such as NACE, SSPC, CSI, ANSI, ASME and ASTM. We have performed many designs and written specifications for structures such as underground tanks, pipelines and water storage tanks. These designs are reviewed by a staff of engineers and stamped by a licensed engineer. CorrTech specializes in custom designed impressed current and sacrificial systems depending on the application.

Tank Inspections & Cleaning

CorrTech can provide inspections of bulk chemical tanks in accordance with all Federal, State and Local Regulations. inspections are conducted by three man crew consisting of an API-653 Certified Inspector.

Tank Inspector and NACE Coatings inspector. Interior out-of service inspections are conducted in strict accordance with OSHA confined space procedures. 

The RoboVac or VR-600 can be used with inspections or as part of a routine cleaning program to maintain water quality. Tanks to be cleaned remain on-line and in-service during the cleaning process. No turbidity is created due to the careful balance between speed of cleaning and rate of pumping. These robotic cleaning systems clean at a rate of approximately 200-1200 sq. feet per hour. The normal pump rate is 100-250 gpm.

Infrastructure Condition Assessment 

CorrTech has evaluated and developed cathodic protection for miles of pipe to date. These range from new installations to 100- year-old installations, are typically 48-inches and larger, coated and lined steel mains. These systems have been designed to provide corrosion protection for the external pipe surface for 50-years minimum. We offer a diversity of high performance coatings and high performance concrete systems for application on a variety of infrastructure.
