Under the three-year, firm-fixed-price quantity contract, which is valued at approximately $10m, the company will provide cathodic protection and corrosion control services at military installations worldwide related to fuel storage tanks and transfer pipeline assets and comprising all aspects of corrosion engineering.

Commenting on the contract, Corrpro president Greta Senn said the company will partner with the US Army Corps of Engineers through Corrosion Services Worldwide programme.

"Dating back to 2003, this is Corrpro’s third Corrosion Services Worldwide IDIQ contract award, and Corrpro’s first contract with the US Army Corps of Engineers," Senn added.

The company will also provide assessment, design and installation of cathodic protection systems, corrosion studies, training of base personnel, field consulting during construction and system evaluation through post construction award services, as part of the contract.
