About Us

Bruce Ackland and Associates Pty Ltd was established in February 1985 and tackles all aspects of cathodic protection design, investigation, administration, installation supervision, commissioning and ongoing monitoring.

Projects have included major wharves, pipelines, petrochemical plants, well casings, internal and external storage tanks, mining and power station infrastructure, steel mills, reinforced concrete structures, shipping, offshore facilities, and numerous other critical structures immersed, embedded and containing corrosive environments.

Cathodic protection and corrosion investigation projects have involved work throughout Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.

What we do

Steel in Concrete

Projects include design and installation of what was Australia’s largest steel in concrete cathodic protection system for Mt Newman Mining Company’s ore pier.

Pipelines

Cathodic protection designs and services have been produced by the company since 1985 for pipelines carrying natural gas, LNG, oil, water, iron ore slurry and hazardous fluids throughout Australia and Malaysia.

Marine Structures

We have designed cathodic protection systems for steel piles and sheet piling in many Australian harbours including Port Kembla, Gladstone, Port Hedland, Hay Point, Ardrossen, Hastings, Gove, Weipa, and Melbourne. Piling designs have also been produced for the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Mauritius and Malaysia.

Containment Structures

Steel water tanks inside and below the floor plate, fuel storage tanks, LNG tanks, titanium condenser end plates and tubes, stainless steel seawater pumps and stainless steel intake screens have all had cathodic protection successfully applied as part of our routine service.

Condition Assessment and Failure Analysis

Condition assessments of reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures have been a regular part of our practice. Survey techniques include electrical potential measurements, chloride ion analysis, carbonation, delamination surveys, cover depth measurements, corrosion rate assessment and concrete strength measurements.
