Omniflex has supplied impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems for a range of prominent buildings across London, helping to protect reinforced concrete structures from corrosion and extending their service life. The company’s technology has been deployed across Selfridges London, Euston House, North Colonnade and Canada Square in Canary Wharf, along with the Grade II-listed site of 140 Leadenhall Street, originally built as The Midland Bank. These projects support the ongoing maintenance and preservation of commercial, retail and heritage sites across the UK capital.
Corrosion is one of the leading causes of deterioration in concrete structures. Left unchecked, it can lead to cracking, spalling and costly repairs, making long-term monitoring and protection vital for building owners seeking to maximise asset life and minimise disruption.
Omniflex’s ICCP systems combine transformer rectifiers (T/Rs), monitoring technology and remote communications capabilities, enabling operators to assess corrosion protection performance, test systems and adjust when required. Using the company’s PowerView platform, asset owners can remotely oversee and manage corrosion protection systems through a secure web-enabled interface, significantly reducing the need for routine site visits. By replacing many manual inspection activities with automated monitoring and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, the system helps reduce asset lifecycle costs, while improving visibility of corrosion protection performance.
PowerView Smart Transformer/Rectifiers also utilise switch-mode technology to achieve high levels of energy efficiency, while reducing standing power loads. Combined with a distributed architecture that minimises field cabling requirements and a modular design intended for long operational life, the system helps lower both installation and operational costs through the asset lifecycle.
