failure of galvanization, coatings or poorly manufactured structures, damaged tower paint systems, misapplication or design of Corten Steel structures. CCC is familiar with failure of direct embedded steel poles from ground line corrosion, failure of hardware from atmospheric contamination, failure of foundations and their attachments. CCC is especially knowledgeable about anchor rod corrosion prevention and anchor rod failure.
Transmission Underground

pumping stations, gas reservoir systems, pipe coating selection & installation, etc. It is familiar with corrosion and dielectric failure of high voltage solid type insulated cables such as: plastic, PE, XPE, XXPE, EPR, Rubber, even Paper & Lead Cables.
Distribution Overhead

Distribution Underground
Let CCC help you design out problems in your underground distribution networks before problems begin, or if you already have problems then call us.
CCC is very experienced with electric underground systems including corrosion problems with: pad mounted transformers & switchgear, splices, concentric neutral corrosion & dielectric insulation treeing failures of URD cables. CCC is especially familiar with manhole corrosion including loss of cables, switchgear, transformers, grounding, cabling hardware, conduits, and etc. CCC can help evaluate your existing coating systems and help stop pad mounted equipment losses due to paint coating failures in corrosive environments.
Substations and Switch Yards

corrosion, control equipment corrosion, wire and wiring failures, concrete foundation corrosion, retaining wall rebar corrosion, fencing corrosion, environmental problems, even methods for discouraging bird damage.
Generation Plants
CCC has experience with corrosion in all types of Electric Generation: hydro, coal, gas, & oil fired generation, even solar & wind powered systems corrosion.
