Since 1989, DACCO SCI, INC. has been bridging the gap between laboratory research and practical implementation, providing innovative corrosion protection solutions for critical infrastructure nationwide.
Comprehensive corrosion engineering and materials technology services backed by decades of experience and innovation.
Provide assessment, evaluation, prevention, and management of corrosion in materials and structures for maintaining safety, uninterrupted service and economic efficiency. Including cathodic protection system design, evaluation and inspections.
Provide a wide range of field testing including close interval surveys, resistivity measurements, soil/water analysis, stray current testing, ultrasonic thickness measurements, and condition-based maintenance programs.
Provide laboratory testing including ion chromatography, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic / cyclic polarization scans.
Provide materials testing, evaluation and selection services based on metallurgical studies, coating evaluations, coating inspections and environmentally induced degradation analyses.
Selected projects and programs showcasing DACCO SCI's work with utilities, rail, research, and marine owners.
Located pipeline appurtenances, wall thickness, coating thickness, lining thickness, lay schedule and weld inspections.
Assessed the health and condition of infrastructure along with its surrounding environment.
Designed cathodic protection systems to prolong or protect infrastructure for accelerated degradation due to corrosive environments.
Used soil or water samples to determine the corrosivity of the environment based on attributes such as pH, redox potential, resistivity and ionic concentrations.
Analyzed pipe samples using laboratory forensic investigations to collect data and provide recommendations for on maintaining or planning future assets.
Investigated water main failure providing timely and appropriate repair recommendations in addition to providing suggested repair methods for similar pipe designs.
Mapped the wall thickness of steel pipeline crossing beneath roadway bridges, tested compressive strength of the concrete in the vicinity of the pipeline and provided visual observations of related components.
Investigated stray current activity inside metro tunnels, identified possible sources of activity, provided recommendations for minimizing stray current activity along with monitoring program.
Provided metallurgical analysis of failed components along sections of a third rail system. Recommendations justified future material selections along with changes to installation procedures.
Investigated areas of accelerated degradation identifying contributing factors and future material selections.
Provided condition assessments of existing steel sheet pile bulkhead structures at waterfront areas including test station evaluations, ultrasonic thickness testing, stray current testing, and structure-to-cell potentials.
Provided weld inspection for a pier rehabilitation project using visual observations and magnetic particle testing for welded members. In addition, quality control services were provided for the coating effort on the steel members.
