Rowan Technologies Ltd, established in 1991, provides a diverse range of services and systems related to engineering material performance, monitoring, integrity and preservation. The company’s expertise ranges from industrial plant integrity and perfomance to historic building conservation and materials selection.
Protection and Conservation
We provide services and systems for corrosion risk assessment, prevention and control, and specialise in the design and supply of cathodic protection systems to inhibit the corrosion of embedded metalwork in masonry and concrete. As advisors to English Heritage, we have extensive experience in the preservation and conservation of historic structures, including some of the UK’s best known buildings.
Monitoring of Industrial Plant
We design and supply systems for monitoring both the integrity (corrosion, erosion and cracking) and thermal behaviour of industrial plant. Our scanner technology, designed to monitor and map large areas of plant such as boiler walls, has been used in power generation plant since 1999 - our first full-scale system is now set to have an operational life of more than ten years.
Services, Research and Development
Services include consultancy, failure analysis and environmental monitoring. We have (or have access to) a wide range of analytical instrumentation, measurement and test facilities.
The company has received a number of technical awards for its research and development activities. Development projects include ceramic thermocouples, ideally suited to high temperature (greater than 1500°C) and highly corrosive environments.
Our clients include many major UK and overseas companies.
