Corrosion Control

Corrosion Control Consulting Services

The Hendrix Group Inc. has been providing corrosion consulting, corrosion prevention and corrosion control services to business, industry, insurance and legal companies and government for more than 14 years. Our objective is to provide a quality service at a reasonable price, to develop practical solutions to clients' corrosion problems and to work with our clients as a team. The Hendrix Group has built a nationwide reputation for the quality of its corrosion and failure analysis services and its cost-effective solutions.

The Hendrix Group's experienced, professional staff has specialized expertise in corrosion technology and investigating corrosion-related failures. We have investigated thousands of failures due to corrosion and/or mechanical means. The practical, experience-based backgrounds of our corrosion engineers qualify us to investigate a full range of corrosion problems across different industries. Our knowledge of corrosion spans both elevated-temperature and ambient temperature, aqueous corrosion mechanisms. If something has failed due to corrosion, we have probably seen it.

The Hendrix Group's professional staff is backed up by the full capabilities of a full service chemical, mechanical and corrosion testing laboratory. Additional benefits include our extensive company technical library and on-line database search capabilities.
