One of the significant problems facing the world today is the decay of our infrastructure. A major component of this decay is the degradation of bridges and highways, especially the deterioration of concrete brought on by corrosion of the embedded reinforcing steel. Through proper design, this problem can be minimized and life expectancies dramatically increased in new structures. For existing structures, cost effective corrosion control methods and structural repairs can dramatically extend the life of the structure.

When it comes to corrosion and corrosion control of reinforcing steel in concrete, CC Technologies is the industry leader. Our staff includes registered engineers and NACE International certified specialists and technicians.

Our research and testing division has conducted numerous federally funded studies to characterize the degradation mode of concrete structures, as well as to establish repair strategies for existing structures and prevention strategies for new structures. Research has been conducted on cathodic protection, concrete mix design, epoxy coated reinforcement and inhibiting admixtures.

Our engineering division has performed studies on bridges, parking garages, tunnels, intake canals, dock structures, buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, large diameter concrete pipe, and various industrial facilities; all to establish the extent of deterioration and its contributing factors. These surveys are combined with structural analysis to establish repair strategies which include the use of coatings, cathodic protection, membranes, and inhibitors.
