The reliability of the energy system depends on assets that cannot fail. At Aplika Control Corrosión, we design and implement specialized solutions to protect, rehabilitate, and extend the service life of critical infrastructure in power generation, transmission, and distribution.

Advanced Corrosion Protection for Energy Assets

Wind farms, thermoelectric and hydroelectric plants, substations, transmission towers, and solar plants operate permanently under aggressive atmospheric environments, high electrical currents, and demanding operational cycles. These factors accelerate corrosion, material deterioration, and the risk of unplanned failures.

At Aplika Control Corrosión, we develop technical solutions aimed at the protection, maintenance, and service life extension of assets in the energy sector.

Technical Solutions Applicable to the Energy Sector

• Anticorrosive Coatings for Severe Environments – ISO 12944: Protection systems designed for electrical towers, substations, metallic structures, and components of wind and solar farms operating under severe atmospheric conditions.
• CUI, CUF, and High-Temperature Protection – AMPP SP0198: Specialized coatings for pipelines, thermal equipment, and auxiliary systems in thermoelectric plants where corrosion under insulation (CUI) and corrosion under fireproofing (CUF) represent critical risks.
• Passive Fire Protection (PFP) – UL 1709: Certified structural protection systems for steel and concrete that preserve the integrity of supports and critical equipment against industrial fires.
• Reinforcement and Repair with Composites – ASME PCC-2 / ISO 24817: Application of composite materials for the structural rehabilitation of pipelines and supports, restoring mechanical capacity without the need for immediate replacements.
• Grouting and Industrial Anchors – API RP 686 / ACI 351.1R: Solutions for the installation and stabilization of wind turbines, transformers, and solar structures, ensuring proper load transfer.
• Technical Consultancy and QA/QC Inspection: Diagnostics and quality control aligned with AMPP standards for preventive and predictive maintenance.

Critical Challenges in Energy Infrastructure

• Atmospheric Corrosion: Influenced by humidity, UV radiation, and environmental pollutants.
• Generation and Transmission Corrosion: Primary challenges in electrical towers, substations, and high-voltage lines.
• Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI/CUF): Critical in thermal and auxiliary equipment of thermoelectric plants.
• Deterioration of Anchors and Foundations: A determining factor in wind turbines and solar structures.
• High-Current Operational Conditions: Where coating integrity is vital for operational safety.

Operational and Economic Benefits
