Why Survey-Only
Electron Cathodic Protection was founded on one rule: testing and repair don't mix. A company that tests a CP system and also sells the fix has a built-in incentive to find something wrong. This business does neither installs nor repairs — just testing, measurement, and reporting. That's not a limitation, it's the point. A reading is either accurate or it isn't, and removing the incentive to find problems is what makes it trustworthy.
The name is not incidental. Cathodic protection works because of electron flow — a controlled electrical current that keeps steel from giving up its own electrons to corrosion. Electron Cathodic Protection exists to confirm that flow is actually happening, accurately and independently.
