• Soil Corrosivity Testing

  Laboratory and field evaluation of soil corrosivity parameters to assess potential corrosion risks for buried utility lines and concrete structures.

• Water Quality & Scaling Index Evaluations

  Evaluation of Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), Ryznar Stability Index (RSI), and other metrics to assess scale-forming or corrosive potential in plumbing, cooling towers, and buried systems.

• Wenner 4-Pin Field Resistivity Testing

  In-situ soil resistivity testing using the Wenner 4-pin method per ASTM G57 to support grounding designs and cathodic protection system specifications.

• Thermal Resistivity Testing

  Evaluation of soil heat conductivity per ASTM D5334 and IEEE 442 protocols for underground power lines, solar facilities, and thermal backfill designs.

• Gravel Resistivity Testing

  Evaluation of gravel and crushed rock resistivity under SSD and saturated conditions per ASTM G187 to inform backfill selection for substations and grounding grids.

Engineering recommendations for material selection, protective coatings, cathodic protection, and design adjustments to mitigate corrosion for above ground, underground, and submerged environments.

• Cathodic Protection Design

  Engineering and design of cathodic protection systems to mitigate electrochemical corrosion of buried and submerged metallic assets.

• Corrosion Rate Monitoring Systems

  Implementation of monitoring configurations to continuously track, measure, and estimate metal loss and environmental corrosion rates.

• Corrosion Surveys

  Comprehensive evaluations of above ground, underground, and water-submerged infrastructure to diagnose existing or prospective corrosion activity.

Metallurgical analysis, hardness testing, finite element analysis (FEA), and elemental composition testing utilizing XRF and EDX technologies.

• Failure Analysis Services

  Investigation of plumbing leaks, premature coating failures, and structural degradation using microscopy, water chemistry, metallurgical inspection, and soil data with root cause reports.

• Corrosion Forensic Investigations

  Detailed forensic diagnoses of complicated construction, industrial, or residential system failures caused by electrochemical or environmental degradation.

• X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analysis

  Alloy identification and heavy metal composition analysis of soils, concrete, or metallic elements using XRF spectroscopy.
