Corrosion Engineering Services

Corrosion Site Assessments

A corrosion site assessment documents visible deterioration and the surrounding exposure conditions so the owner can decide what testing, repair planning, monitoring, or specialist work should come next.

Service overview

What this service involves

Calicore Engineering evaluates visible distress, exposure conditions, material history, soil conditions, coatings, and operating context. The scope identifies the accessible areas, observations, measurements, and samples needed to answer the owner’s question.

Assessments can support maintenance planning, due diligence, repair scoping, owner investigations, and coordination with laboratories or specialty consultants when advanced analysis is warranted.

Step by step

How the process works

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

  1. 01

    Confirm the concern

    We identify the asset, visible problem, access limitations, operating condition, and the immediate maintenance or repair decision.

  2. 02

    Review available records

    Plans, photographs, prior inspections, coating information, maintenance history, and failure records help focus the site visit.

  3. 03

    Inspect the accessible areas

    Conditions are photographed and mapped, with agreed measurements or samples collected when they help determine the next action.

  4. 04

    Prioritize next steps

    The assessment states what was observed, what remains uncertain, and whether testing, monitoring, repair planning, or specialist work should follow.

Review criteria

What a useful site assessment documents

Frequently asked

Corrosion Site Assessments questions

Does a site assessment include cathodic protection design?+

No. Calicore currently provides corrosion assessment, testing, and investigation services, but does not design cathodic protection systems.

Can you assess an asset before a repair project?+

Yes. A focused assessment can help define the repair scope, testing needs, and questions that should be resolved before plans or specifications are prepared.
