Corrosion Mitigation Solutions
State-of-the-Art Products
Corrosion is a naturally occurring process that can lead to unsafe conditions, extensive repairs and even failure. While the causes of corrosion cannot be eliminated in reinforced concrete and steel structures, preventive measures and modern technology can minimize its damaging effects. By taking a proactive approach, corrosion can be mitigated prior to the onset of significant damage. Addressing the issues early in the life of structures ensures the ability to efficiently plan or eliminate the need for costly repairs.
STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES offers a full suite of cathodic protection systems – including both impressed current and galvanic solutions – to accommodate a wide range of service-life expectancies, budgets, design considerations and maintenance requirements. Our products can be used stand-alone or in combination to solve complex project challenges.
Embedded Systems
Whether galvanic or impressed current, ElectrotechCP™ Embedded Systems can be tailored to deliver precise levels of protective current to concrete and masonry embedded steel regardless of the steel density and thickness of the structure.
Features
- Design Flexibility
- Integrated
- Remote Monitoring
Surface Systems
STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES’ ElectrotechCP™ Surface Systems use both commercial and patented anode alloys, providing corrosion protection to embedded steel in various concrete environments. These systems adapt to the structure’s form without prefabrication, allowing for flexibility during installation. Whether utilizing galvanic or impressed current, the surface systems act as barriers, preventing further contamination. Coatings can be applied to match your structure’s aesthetic and exposure requirements.

Power Supply & Monitoring Systems
STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES’ ElectrotechCP™ Systems are made for cathodic protection. Our power supply and monitoring solutions follow industry standards, easily connecting with structural and building management systems. Our in-house teams can create custom interfaces to meet clients’ specific needs.
ECU/RMS
A microcontroller unit centrally controls multiple Local Rectifier Units (LRU) via a network. The ECU/RMS offers a touchscreen or keypad interface and enables secure remote access via the internet.
MCU/RMS
A SCADA-based MCU/RMS package enables centralized control for multiple LRUs and diverse systems across various structures. It performs tasks such as cathodic protection monitoring, control, and structural health, integrating industry-standard sensors.
LRU
LRU switch-mode power suppliers, designed for cathodic protection, offer unmatched 1mA/10mA output resolution. Capable of synchronized system operation, they capture all parameters in a single interruption.
ERE 20
ERE 20, a manganese dioxide reference electrode for concrete cathodic protection, uses an alkaline electrolyte gel. It boasts industry-leading stability and potential measurement longevity, with a service life exceeding 20 years.
ERE-MMO
ERE-MMO is a long-life reference electrode which can be embedded in concrete and used to control the cathodic protection of the reinforcing steel.
TRIM
A Transformer Rectifier Integration Module (TRIM) enables remote monitoring and control of various standalone cathodic protection transformer rectifiers. TRIM units integrate existing systems into a modern, state-of-the-art monitoring and control system.
