Fueled by federal regulations and the economic advantages operators perceive in extending infrastructure life, corrosion control for underground and underwater metal structures and pipelines is a large and growing industry. The subject company provides corrosion engineering services to federal, state and local governments, port authorities, transit systems and airport operators and private industry. It is strictly an engineering company. It sells no equipment and performs no installations. Its services include: Corrosion Studies for new and existing structures; Corrosion Control Designs and Specifications for cathodic protection systems, AC and DC current drainage systems, corrosions monitoring systems, test facilities and coatings; Corrosion Control Training; Technical Assistance During Construction; and Stray Current Analysis. With very little marketing efforts, the company has averaged a 10% growth rate. It has many long-term, blue chip clients, and excellent staff of knowedgeable engineers. With more aggressive marketing, new ownership could easily leverage this company's competencies, track record and client list into a much larger company.
