What Corrosion Control Engineering does

Corrosion Control Engineering (CCE) is Australasia's largest specialised corrosion engineering company, delivering cathodic protection (CP) and related asset-integrity services for buried or immersed metallic infrastructure. Founded in Sydney in 2001 and delivering turnkey solutions across the region since 2003, the company operates eight offices across Australia (Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Townsville, Adelaide) and New Zealand (New Plymouth, Auckland, Christchurch), with activity also extending into Papua New Guinea. It is the first Diamond Member of the Australasian Corrosion Association and operates an ISO 9001-certified quality management system.

CCE's commercial offering is organised around four revenue streams: engineering services (CP design, consultancy, auditing, maintenance, integrity consultancy, failure investigation); field services (CP system installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, DCVG/CIPS/PCM surveys, stray current investigations); products and materials supply (anodes, backfill, transformer rectifier units, test points, cabling, reference electrodes, insulating gaskets, surge diverters, flange isolation kits, monolithic insulating joints, corrosion inhibitors, pigging equipment); and technical equipment supply. It manufactures the proprietary Pipescan II DCVG equipment in-house and holds exclusive Australian distributorship for Cosasco with Australian distribution rights for M.C. Miller, alongside representation of Mobiltex, NDT Global, and Weilekes Elektronik.

CCE's customer base spans pipeline operators (oil, gas, water), marine and offshore assets (FPSOs, vessels, ports, jetties), infrastructure owners (storage tanks, bridges, tunnels), civil/construction (steel-reinforced concrete), and mining/resources (thickeners, clarifiers, water treatment units). It employs 51-100 staff, markets via direct enterprise field sales from its eight offices, and is privately held with no parent company or external funding events disclosed.
