Our approach mitigates corrosion with True compliance while ensuring long-term protection and environmental stewardship.
As one of our core values, safety is a commitment that governs every decision we make as a company. This commitment is seen in our efforts to protect the health and safety of our team, customers, partners, contractors, general public and the environment. Our culture of safety is also regulated by our strict adherence to all applicable legislation and our earnest determination to achieve “zero injuries, zero accidents and zero pollution”.
Real-time data and expert analysis are the backbone of our cathodic protection services. It provides an accurate assessment of the True condition of structures and informs the proactive measures we take to prevent costly corrosion-related damage. This data also helps our customers ensure that safety, regulatory and environmental standards are met.
When metals are in the presence of moisture and oxygen, they undergo chemical reactions that lead to their deterioration. This deterioration is commonly referred to as corrosion. Over time, corrosion weakens metal structures such as bridges, pipelines and industrial equipment, leading to failures that can be costly and dangerous to workers, communities and the environment.
Effective corrosion prevention measures can help mitigate – and sometimes even prevent – damages, accidents and environmental hazards that can arise from corrosion. Structures protected from corrosion maintain optimal performance over a more extended time. This is critical for public, workplace and environmental safety and highly beneficial for operational efficiency and organizational profitability.
Cathodic protection is a dynamic preventative measure that can stop or reduce the corrosion rate on pipelines, storage tanks, structural piles and other buried or submerged metallic structures. Using the principle of electrochemistry, cathodic protection manipulates the corrosion process by shifting the metal structure from a positively charged electrode (an ANODE) to a negatively charged electrode (a CATHODE). This shift prevents or reduces the corrosion of the metal.
Cathodic protection aims to maintain a negative electrical potential on the metal structure relative to its surrounding environment. This suppresses oxidation, which leads to corrosion, effectively extending the service life of the metal structure and preventing its deterioration.

Cathodic protection stands as a cornerstone in the fight against corrosion, safeguarding the integrity and longevity of metal structures in various industries. Powers Corrosion, a leading name in this arena, offers cutting-edge solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of its clients, ensuring that their assets are protected from the relentless onslaught of corrosion. With a focus on cathodic protection systems, including impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) and cathodic protection pipelines, Powers Corrosion delivers reliability and efficiency in corrosion prevention.
At the heart of cathodic protection is a simple yet profound principle: it transforms the metal requiring protection into the cathode of an electrochemical cell. This method significantly reduces the oxidation process, which is the primary cause of corrosion. Powers Corrosion leverages this principle to design and implement cathodic protection systems that are not only effective but also sustainable and cost-efficient. Their expertise spans across various sectors, including oil and gas, marine, and infrastructure, demonstrating a versatile approach to corrosion prevention.
Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) is a sophisticated technique within the scope of cathodic protection systems. Unlike passive galvanic or sacrificial anode systems, ICCP uses an external power source to drive a direct current through the anode, effectively protecting the structure from corrosion. Powers Corrosion specializes in ICCP systems, engineering solutions that are tailored to the unique environmental conditions and material properties of each project. Their ICCP systems are renowned for their reliability and effectiveness in preventing corrosion over extensive areas, making them an ideal choice for large-scale industrial applications.
Cathodic protection pipeline solutions are another area where Powers Corrosion excels. Pipelines, often buried or submerged, are particularly vulnerable to corrosion, which can lead to leaks, environmental damage, and costly repairs. Powers Corrosion designs cathodic protection systems that shield these critical infrastructures from corrosion. By applying both sacrificial anode and impressed current techniques, they ensure that pipelines remain operational and safe over their intended lifespan, thus safeguarding the environment and the investment of their clients.
Powers Corrosion’s commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction is evident in every cathodic protection system they design and implement. Their team of experts works closely with clients to assess their needs, design custom solutions, and provide ongoing support to ensure optimal performance of the cathodic protection systems. Through their dedication to excellence and their advanced understanding of corrosion mechanisms and prevention strategies, Powers Corrosion stands as a beacon of trust and reliability in the corrosion protection industry.
Cathodic protection is an essential strategy in the preservation of metal structures against corrosion. Powers Corrosion, with its expertise in impressed current cathodic protection and cathodic protection pipelines, offers bespoke solutions that ensure the longevity and integrity of valuable assets. Their innovative approach and commitment to quality make them a preferred partner for industries seeking to combat corrosion effectively and efficiently.
