For several decades, we have been specializing in corrosion protection technologies (cathodic protection) and realization of tasks related to the protection of underground gas, fuel, and water transmission pipelines, tanks, installations and other structures as well as subterranean infrastructure. Our many years of experience and expert knowledge in the field of designing, evaluating, measuring, implementing and servicing cathodic protection installations enable us to carry out comprehensive tasks in this field.
We have the necessary professional qualifications in accordance with the requirements of the PN-EN ISO 15257:2017 standard as pertaining to underground or submerged metal structures.
Certificates of professional competence in the field of cathodic protection: — Level 3 and Level 4 according to the PN-EN ISO 15257:2017
This certificate is required by the Office of Technical Inspection for, among others, conducting technical inspections, preparing expert reports, evaluating measurement results, analyzing and designing cathodic protection installations.
In accordance with the certificates of professional competencies held by members of our team, we provide investment supervision services for the construction of high-pressure gas transmission pipelines with a diameter of DN1000 and DN700 for OGP Gaz System SA.
We cooperate with many companies in Poland and abroad as well as various technical universities. We maintain regular scientific contact with our alma mater – Gdańsk University of Technology, in particular the Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Electrochemistry, Corrosion and Materials Engineering headed by Prof. Dr Hab. Eng. Kazimierz Darowicki.
The purchasers of our systems, equipment and components are manufacturers and users of fuel tanks, oil companies, military propellant and lubricant depots and individual owners of fuel stations from all over Poland. We use materials and equipment from leading companies to build cathodic protection systems: Atlas Sollich ZSE, Mc Miller, Loresco, DISA, MATCOR, Cath-Tech, Metal Samples, Royston Labs and our own products.
Our specialists
Our main specialist and technical director is Ryszard Ćwiklinski, graduate of the Faculty of Chemistry of Technical University of Gdańsk, Poland in the field of Corrosion and Protection of Metals (1975-1980) and graduate of the Postgraduate Studies at the Faculty of Chemistry of the Technical University of Gdańsk in the Department of Corrosion Protection Technology (1982-1983).
He participated in measurement, design and implementation tasks carried out for OGP Gaz-System SA, WSG Sp. z o.o., PGNiG, PERN, PKN ORLEN and other business entities within the scope of cathodic protection installations; long-time director of “KORCHEM”, a specialized service provider of corrosion protection for the chemical industry, in Włocławek, Poland; Technical manager at Corrstop Sp. z o.o.; specialist in the field of electrochemical corrosion protection, measurement methods and computer techniques used in cathodic protection technology; co-author of expert and technical reports; since 2016 corrosion protection supervision expert and inspector for the Office of the Investment Supervision for the implementation of the Construction of DN700 and DN1000 gas pipelines.
Our team also includes other specialists with equivalent professional qualifications, allowing us to perform various, even very complex tasks in the field of electrochemical corrosion protection.
