Matcor, Inc.
In business for over 45 years, MATCOR provides services and products that solve corrosion problems in major infrastructure assets such as oil, gas and water pipelines, above ground storage tanks, power plants, energy facilities, and deep wells. Ground bed (or groundbbed) is a broad generic term to identify the location of one or more anodes installed in specific location in the ground. Impressed current cathodic protection systems can be adapted to protect virtually any underground or submerged structure, regardless of electrical isolation or coating quality. We provide comprehensive corrosion engineering, cathodic protection and AC mitigation services, in addition to a complete range of cathodic protection systems, anodes and AC mitigation solutions to customers in more than 40 countries.

These are the benefits customers enjoy in terms of value and the environment. With decades of experience, MATCOR safely and cost-effectively delivers direct turnkey cathodic protection and AC mitigation solutions.
MATCOR supports customers with dedicated teams of strategically located and highly skilled professionals, along with one of the largest fleets of construction equipment in the industry. Our teams include top NACE-certified engineers, DOT operators and qualified technicians.
Why Corrosion Prevention is Critical
Structural assets in the oil, gas, power, water and other infrastructure industries are subject to ongoing effects of corrosion due to natural causes and AC (alternating current) interference from electrical transmission lines. MATCOR utilizes proven techniques and proprietary products to prevent corrosion, maintain safe and reliable operation, extend asset life and prevent devastating failures. These corrosion prevention methods deliver outstanding ROI and include cathodic protection and AC mitigation.
Cathodic Protection and AC Mitigation Services
MATCOR provides a broad range of corrosion engineering, field service, project management and AC mitigation services, including turnkey, specialty and custom corrosion engineering services for industrial applications and pipeline integrity management.
Core Values
Throughout MATCOR, adherence to the company’s core values are evident. At the heart of these values is safety. We not only deliver the benefit of safety through our products and services, we instill safety and all of our core values in every aspect of our business.
Matcor International
Serving over 40 countries, MATCOR has a global reputation for providing exceptional corrosion prevention solutions – even in some of the world’s most harsh and difficult environmental conditions.
MATCOR’s Global Reach
MATCOR delivers its corrosion solutions to international markets in two ways:
- Through direct material sales of MATCOR proprietary Products
- Through execution of its Services
Services
MATCOR offers a full array of individual corrosion prevention services and can also deliver turnkey solutions outside the USA. MATCOR can design cathodic protection systems for any country and can mobilize from the USA to provide installation supervision and monitoring. MATCOR India is building a full-service team of engineers and technicians based in Ahmedabad to deliver local, turnkey solutions to the Indian market and selected Middle Eastern and Asian markets.
Examples of recent MATCOR International projects:
Nigeria, Lagos – MATCOR MANUFACTURED LINEAR ANODES FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANKS
MATCOR provided design engineering and materials for the impressed current cathodic protection system using MATCOR manufactured linear anodes with factory connected tail cables for 155 new construction above ground storage tanks. MATCOR supplied 175,000 meters of linear anode for this project. (Tank Ring Anode System).
Kuwait – HDD CP RETROFIT FOR EXISTING CRITICAL SERVICE ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANK
MATCOR provided design engineering, materials, installation testing and commissioning for the retrofit installation of a replaceable linear anode-based impressed current cathodic protection for a critical service double wall AST in Kuwait. This critical service tank could not be taken out of service, and the existing cathodic protection system consisting of discreet anodes around the perimeter of the tank proved ineffective in meeting NACE criteria for cathodic protection. Utilizing Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) to bore under the tank offered the opportunity to install directly below the tank linear anodes and a portable reference electrode profile tube while remaining in service. This novel approach to installing cathodic protection on existing tanks offers several critical benefits, but had not previously been attempted in the Middle East region. (Tank Ring Anode System).
Mexico – MATCOR TANK RING ANODE SYSTEM FOR 13 NEW CONSTRUCTION ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANKS
MATCOR provided design engineering and materials for the impressed current cathodic protection system using MATCOR manufactured tank ring anode system for 13 new construction above ground storage tanks in Mexico. MATCOR’s unique SPL-Anode system with patented Kynex® technology is manufactured in concentric rings in the USA and ready for installation on a specific tank. (Tank Ring Anode System).
Saint Vincents Island, Saint Vincents and the Grenadines – CATHODIC PROTECTION DESIGN EVALUATION
MATCOR performed a cathodic protection design evaluation for the San Vincents Fuel Distribution Plant located in the Caribbean. The plant’s cathodic protection requirements included isolated buried piping to be protected by galvanic anodes, and above ground storage tank bottoms to be protected by shallow mixed metal oxide canister anodes ( MMP™-Anodes).
Surabaya, Indonesia – MARINE PILING IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM
MATCOR provided design engineering, materials, installation supervision and commissioning and testing services for a large jetty for one of Asia’s largest agribusiness companies. The project utilized six marine sled anodes to protect approximately 250 metallic piles ( Sea-Bottom Anode™).
Deveselu, Romania – PLANT PIPING AND FACILITIES
MATCOR designed and provided cathodic protection for the fire water piping and water storage tanks at this missile defense facility in Romania. Scope of work included design services, installation supervision and commissioning and testing of galvanic and impressed current anode systems ( PF™-Anode).
Angola LNG, Soyo, Angola – PLANT FACILITIES
MATCOR developed the cathodic protection system design for this large LNG facility in Angola including galvanic anodes for the marine jetty, buried piping and potable and raw water tanks and an impressed current water tank anode system for the fire water tank. In addition to providing the design and materials, MATCOR provided startup and commissioning services for the facility in Angola. (Tank Ring Anode System).
DeKastri Crude Oil Export Terminal, DeKastri Russia – LINEAR ANODE TURNKEY PROJECT
MATCOR provided a turnkey installation using linear anodes to protect plant piping at the DeKastri crude oil terminal for ExxonMobil Neftegas including the design, installation using a local Russian partner, and commissioning and testing for one of Asia’s largest crude oil export facilities located on mainland Russia across from Sakhalin Island. (SPL™-FBR Anode).
Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada – TURNKEY DEEP ANODE SYSTEMS
MATCOR completed a turnkey installation of 3 deep anode systems to protect gathering system piping for an oil production field in Alberta, Canada. MATCOR provided materials and installation services for these 300 foot deep anode systems. (Durammo® Deep Anode System).
