What CORROSION PREVENTION LIMITED does

Corrosion Prevention Limited is a specialist UK engineering consultancy, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Hednesford, Staffordshire. The firm provides corrosion survey, cathodic protection design, specification, installation supervision, commissioning, and ongoing monitoring services for reinforced concrete structures, steel-framed buildings, marine assets, and buried steel infrastructure. It targets four primary verticals: highways and civil engineering, buildings (including heritage and listed structures), ports/harbours/terminals, and oil and gas. Engagement spans both new-build and retrofit/rehabilitation schemes, with particular expertise in identifying and mitigating Accelerated Low Water Corrosion (ALWC) in marine environments.

The company's core technical capability centres on both galvanic anode and impressed current cathodic protection systems. All design work is delivered by engineers certified to BS EN 15257 Level 3 across all four cathodic protection disciplines (reinforced concrete, marine metallic structures, underground/immersed structures, and inner surfaces of metallic containers), with site technicians holding Level 2. The firm is deliberately independent of material and equipment suppliers, which positions it to issue impartial system recommendations rather than channel-aligned specifications. Service delivery conforms to BS EN ISO 12696, BS EN ISO 13174, and BS EN 1504.

Commercially, the business operates as a professional services consultancy with project-based engagements supplemented by recurring monitoring and managed-services contracts. Customers include UK government bodies (Environment Agency, Highways Agency), large consultancies (Drivers Jonas Deloitte), contractors (Volker Laser, Dawnus Construction, Balvac, Concrete Repairs Limited), asset owners (Dover Harbour Board, University College London), and marine specialists (Ocean Kinetics). Projects are delivered across the UK and internationally through direct enterprise relationships and professional referrals, with case-study evidence on major motorways (M5, M6), tidal defence gates, container terminals, and heritage buildings.

Broad incumbents

• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with extensive asset integrity, structures, and transportation practices covering cathodic protection of bridges, tunnels, and marine structures. Broader incumbent that overlaps with Corrosion Prevention on major highways and port projects.
• WSP: Global professional services consultancy with a strong asset management, structures, and infrastructure practice that includes cathodic protection and corrosion engineering. Competes for UK highways (formerly Highways Agency) and major infrastructure framework contracts where CP is bundled into larger commissions.
• Mott MacDonald: Global engineering consultancy with a substantial asset integrity and corrosion management practice covering cathodic protection, structural health, and materials engineering. Competes for the same highways, port, and infrastructure CP commissions, but as part of a much broader multi-disciplinary portfolio.

Emerging players

• Concrete Repairs Limited: UK specialist contractor in concrete repair and cathodic protection installation. Adjacent peer — they install CP systems designed by consultancies like Corrosion Prevention, and there is documented collaboration on projects such as the Central House listed building scheme.
• Renovo Solutions Limited: UK cathodic protection and corrosion engineering specialist providing CP design, installation, and monitoring services. Smaller, more emerging peer with similar target verticals (highways, structures, marine) and overlapping CP competency to Corrosion Prevention Limited.

Direct peers

• BAC Corrosion Control Ltd: UK-based specialist cathodic protection design, supply, installation, and monitoring contractor. Direct competitor offering both consultancy and contractor services to similar infrastructure, marine, and oil & gas clients, with comparable BS EN 15257-certified engineering capability.
• Vector Corrosion Technologies: North American specialist in cathodic protection and corrosion mitigation for reinforced concrete and steel structures. Direct competitor in galvanic and impressed current CP design, galvanic anodes, and CP monitoring, with comparable service portfolio to Corrosion Prevention Limited.
• Cathelco Ltd: UK-based manufacturer and supplier of marine cathodic protection systems (hull impressed current CP, ICCP, and sacrificial anodes) for commercial shipping and offshore structures. Adjacent competitor in marine CP with comparable customers (harbour boards, terminal operators) to Corrosion Prevention's marine projects division.
• CAPCIS Limited (now part of Element Materials Technology): UK-based specialist cathodic protection and corrosion engineering consultancy, now part of Element Materials Technology. Highly comparable in offering (CP design, surveys, monitoring) and target customers (oil & gas, marine, infrastructure), making it the closest direct peer to Corrosion Prevention Limited.

Others

• Teknos (industrial coatings) and Sika (concrete repair & protection): Global manufacturers of protective coatings, concrete repair systems, and corrosion protection products. Sika's concrete repair and protection portfolio and Teknos's industrial coatings are referenced as part of the broader supply chain that Corrosion Prevention specifies into, but they are suppliers and contractors rather than direct design competitors.
