Municipal agencies and their constituents across the United States retain V&A to advise during the design of new infrastructure and to assess existing assets. We focus on the design, evaluation, and planning of corrosion control techniques for water, wastewater, and transit infrastructure. Using modern testing technology, our engineers evaluate conditions to recommend the most effective corrosion protection needed to extend the life of municipal assets.
Our expertly gathered data supports the generation of reports enabling agencies to make effective design and construction decisions and maximize the value of their assets. Use of cathodic protection to control the corrosion of metal surfaces, for example, typically costs less than 1% of an infrastructure project’s construction budget, but can actually double the life of the asset.
Corrosion can affect metallic and concrete systems differently. V&A engineers have successfully managed projects across the United States, and continually explore the industry’s latest technology, materials, and methods to mitigate corrosive effects on assets. V&A is your partner in infrastructure corrosion protection, and we share your desire to maximize the value of your assets.
The corrosion engineering images on the left illustrate our VANDA® Condition Index that was created by V&A Consulting Engineers, Inc. to provide consistent reporting of corrosion damage based on a qualitative, objective criteria. Level 1 represents little to no corrosion and Level 5 represents a failure or imminent failure.
