Our New Office in Hawaii
We are very excited to announce that we have opened a new office in Honolulu, HI. Located at 500 Ala Moana Blvd Suite 7400, we are in the heart of town. We look forward to bringing the islands the same exceptional services we offer our mainland clients while maintaining Hawaii’s core values. Our local representatives are ready to assist you in any of the following matters.
By being 2,500 miles away from the continental USA, expert response to corrosion related issues are days away. By having an office in Honolulu, Matergenics will be poised to respond quickly and effectively to any situation requiring corrosion investigation and support.
Please free to contact our Hawaii engineer, Clinton Char at 626-320-9999 to discuss any corrosion related issues.
Our services include:
- Failure analysis
- Inspections of T&D, communication towers, and other infrastructure
- Condition assessment
- Inspection of high rise buildings for rebar corrosion
- AND MORE!
The islands’ unique geography makes the atmosphere and soil very corrosive for steel structures. That, in combination with Hawaii’s aging infrastructure, exacerbates corrosion, which makes the need to protect these structures even more important. In the past few moths alone several light and utility poles have fallen over. Many of which could have been prevented with corrosion mitigation.
The photos below show a downed light pole on Oahu that failed due to corrosion of the anchor bolts.
