Corrosion & Life Extension

Corrosion & Life Extension services in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and throughout the Lower Mainland, BC. Professional material engineering solutions.

OVERVIEW

Assessment of corrosion mechanisms, protective coatings, and mitigation strategies for aggressive services.

We map remaining life and inspection intervals so maintenance budgets stay predictable.

  • Electrochemical testing and coupon programs
  • Coating system selection and QA monitoring
  • Cathodic protection review and asset integrity planning
USE CASES & APPLICATIONS

Corrosion and life extension services support industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and infrastructure projects throughout Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, and BC. We assess corrosion risks, develop mitigation strategies, and design protection systems for equipment operating in aggressive environments. Our services are essential for facilities managing aging infrastructure or operating in corrosive environments.

We support facilities facing corrosion concerns, equipment life extension programs, or new construction in corrosive environments. Our corrosion control services serve oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, pulp & paper mills, marine facilities, and infrastructure projects. Each project requires careful consideration of corrosion mechanisms, environmental conditions, and protection requirements.

PROCESS & WORKFLOW

We begin by analyzing corrosion mechanisms, environmental conditions, and material properties. We perform electrochemical testing and coupon programs to quantify corrosion rates and evaluate protection effectiveness. We assess coating systems and develop selection criteria that ensure adequate protection for specific service conditions.

We develop coating QA monitoring programs that verify proper application and performance. We review cathodic protection systems and design improvements where needed. We map remaining equipment life and inspection intervals to help owners plan maintenance budgets and equipment replacement schedules.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS & COMPLIANCE

Our corrosion and life extension services comply with NACE standards for corrosion control, applicable coating standards, and client specifications. We ensure all protection systems meet performance requirements and provide adequate service life. Our recommendations support asset management and life extension programs throughout British Columbia.
