Reinforced Concrete

Corrosion of metal structures in concrete is rooted in the characteristics of the concrete itself. The factors of greatest importance are porosity, the absence of cracks, and the thickness of the concrete layer over the metal. Typically, with good concrete quality and adequate thickness, the reinforcement becomes passivated and does not corrode, or corrodes very slowly.

Insufficient thickness and density of the concrete, combined with other factors such as salt, saltwater, and pollutants, can break the passivity of the reinforcement, leading it to begin corroding. This can be effectively prevented with cathodic corrosion protection.

Concrete is a key material in a wide range of projects, from infrastructure to industrial applications. Choosing the right corrosion protection requires careful consideration of all factors, including environmental conditions, lifespan requirements, and structural demands to ensure long-term durability and performance

Corrosion significantly impacts reinforced concrete structures, reducing their strength and lifespan. Exposure to moisture and chlorides leads to rapid deterioration, increasing maintenance COSTs and safety risks. Without preventive measures, structural integrity weakens, potentially resulting in costly repairs or failures.
In addition to this, endless concrete repairs usually accelerate the corrosion rate due to increased oxygen levels at the repaired area. Effective corrosion control, such as cathodic protection, is crucial to preserving infrastructure, reducing long-term costs, and ensuring safety and reliability.

Cathodic protection stops steel reinforcement from corroding by controlling electrochemical reactions. Our ICCP and sacrificial anode systems:

- Preserve structural integrity and extend lifespan
- Prevent costly, repeated repairs
- Enhance safety and reliability
- Reduce lifetime maintenance costs
- Extends the design life by up to 10 times

Experience immediate clarity with our systems, enabling you to interpret corrosion protection measurements within just 1–2 days of installation. Our intuitive reference tables and clear potential infographics let you instantly understand results on-site or remotely, eliminating the need for lengthy external analysis. With NoCor, you gain straightforward, actionable insights into your protection levels, empowering you to make informed decisions and secure the integrity of your concrete structures without delay.

By analyzing environmental conditions and structural requirements, we design tailored solutions that maximize durability and long-term performance.

Sacrificial anodes provide reliable and cost-effective protection for reinforced concrete by preventing corrosion.

By delivering a controlled electrical current, ICCP systems mitigate corrosion risks and provide consistent, long-term performance.

We are one of Scandinavia's leading suppliers of cathodic protection since 1989. Our headquarters are located in Ramlösa, Helsingborg, in southern Sweden.
