For over 37 years, we've been bridging the gap between laboratory research and practical implementation, providing innovative solutions for corrosion engineering and materials technology.
Founded in 1988 by Dr. Chester M. Dacres, DACCO SCI, INC. emerged from a vision to bridge the critical gap between advanced laboratory research and practical field implementation in corrosion engineering. With over four decades of combined experience, our team has consistently delivered innovative solutions that extend the life of critical infrastructure across multiple industries.
Our proprietary in-situ corrosion sensors represent a breakthrough in monitoring technology, extending electrochemical impedance spectroscopy from controlled laboratory environments to real-world field applications. Furthermore, our laboratory experience made it possible to develop nondestructive field testing for identifying buried materials such as service lines.
DACCO SCI, INC. has been dedicated to providing cathodic protection services in the field and laboratory. We have been fortunate to provide services across the country for clients in the private and public sectors. Our condition assessment design, and inspection services have supported clients with their design details, specifications, design manuals, risk management, and including corrosion data in GIS.
