Materials and corrosion engineering services focus on understanding how infrastructure assets degrade over time and how to prevent or mitigate that deterioration. In aggressive environments, materials are exposed to chemical attack, moisture, microbiological activity, mechanical and physical loads and conditions, and other factors that can compromise structural integrity and performance.
These services provide a scientific and engineering-based approach to evaluating material behavior, identifying corrosion and other deterioration mechanisms, and assessing risk. By combining field observations with laboratory analysis and industry standards, a clear picture of current condition and future performance can be established.
With this insight, asset owners can make informed decisions regarding material selection, protective systems, and long-term maintenance strategies. Properly addressing materials and corrosion challenges helps extend asset life, improve reliability, and reduce lifecycle costs.

Corrosion Probe, Inc. provides a range of materials and corrosion engineering services designed to assess degradation mechanisms and recommend practical solutions under real-world operating conditions. Evaluations are developed based on asset type, exposure environment, and known corrosion, mechanical, physical, and structural risks to ensure meaningful and reliable outcomes.
Our services include corrosion and condition assessments, material evaluations, and failure analyses to determine root causes of deterioration. We support material selection for new construction and rehabilitation, and recommend mitigation strategies such as proper material selection, protective coatings, cathodic protection, and system design improvements. Laboratory testing and field investigations are also performed to validate material performance and environmental impacts.
Findings are documented and interpreted to provide clear conclusions regarding corrosion and other deterioration risks, contributing factors, and recommended next steps. This information can be integrated into design, fabrication/construction, maintenance, and asset management programs to improve performance and reliability.

Materials and corrosion services are applied across a wide range of infrastructure systems including pipelines, pressure vessels, storage tanks, manholes, wet wells, lift stations, and process equipment. These assets are frequently exposed to corrosive environments and challenging mechanical and physical operating conditions that can significantly impact material performance.
These services are commonly utilized during design to support proper material selection, during fabrication and construction to ensure quality, during condition assessments to evaluate existing asset performance, and during failure investigations to identify root causes and prevent recurrence. They are also applied as part of corrosion control programs to monitor and manage ongoing deterioration.
By providing a clear understanding of material behavior and deterioration risk, these services support proactive decision-making, improve system reliability, and help extend the service life of critical infrastructure assets.
