Corrosion Monitoring Programs

A corrosion monitoring program creates a repeatable record of material condition and exposure so owners can identify change before a failure or emergency repair.

Service overview

What this service involves

Monitoring is most useful when it answers a defined owner question: whether conditions are changing, whether a repair is working, whether materials should be compared, or whether a vulnerable asset needs earlier intervention. Calicore builds the program around that decision rather than collecting measurements without a response plan.

A program may combine corrosion coupons, periodic photographs, coating observations, soil or water chemistry, resistivity, operating records, and targeted field measurements. The report identifies trends, data gaps, and action thresholds while distinguishing observed change from normal variation or differences in sampling conditions.

Step by step

How the process works

The exact scope is matched to the project, but a typical assignment follows these steps.

  1. 01

    Define the question

    We identify the asset, observed condition, available history, and the decision the work must support.

  2. 02

    Collect useful evidence

    We review records and select site observations, measurements, or samples that can distinguish between credible explanations.

  3. 03

    Explain the findings

    The report separates observations from interpretation and states the limitations, likely mechanisms, and next useful action.

Review criteria

What the owner or project team needs from the work

A useful corrosion deliverable must show how the evidence supports the conclusion, not simply assign a broad corrosivity label.

What you receive

  • Owners comparing repair or material options

Frequently asked

Corrosion Monitoring Programs questions

How long should a corrosion monitoring program run?+

The useful duration depends on the asset, expected rate of change, operating cycle, exposure, and decision the program must support. Calicore defines the interval around the project question and the sensitivity of the measurement.

Is coupon testing enough by itself?+

Usually not. Coupon results are more useful when paired with location, operating conditions, coating or material observations, and any changes that occurred during exposure.

Can you review an existing monitoring program?+

Yes. Calicore can review placement, material selection, retrieval records, calculations, exposure documentation, and whether the program is producing decision-quality information.
