Corrosion Engineering

Vinsi Partners have developed specialist competences in corrosion management engineering of the built environment. Corrosion and degradation of structures is a multi-billion dollar cost to economies. We value add to our clients through planning and developing consulting engineering services to increase the life cycle of structures and buildings under predictable maintenance conditions at optimum costs.

We understand the value of infrastructure and associated assets and therefore ensure that only appropriately trained and skilled structural engineers and materials scientists undertake any assessment or condition survey. We have on-staff post-graduate qualified corrosion engineers and material scientists who have skilled our structural engineers on relevant corrosion aspects. This enables heightened client confidence together with the understanding that Vinsi staff have an intimate knowledge of existing construction methods, rectification methodologies, proprietary systems and specialist products. We have also researched and published on various aspects of the investigation, repair, and maintenance of structures and buildings.

Vinsi Partners strive for continual improvement with a track record of delivering quality engineering advice on projects. We have a collaborative and proactive approach and an understanding of closely working with key stakeholders throughout all phases of a commission.

Vinsi Partners takes great pride in the knowledge that our engineering advice is independent without any conflicts of interest associated with the supply of materials, equipment or laboratory testing services.

Vinsi Partners, its officers and employees also provide such non-conflicted advice without any form of collusive behaviour with any entity.
