TECHT has established a Corrosion Testing Laboratory in Technology Park (Bentley, WA), offering localised, high-quality services for industries and government agencies across Australia.
Our world-class corrosion testing facility complies with key Australian Standards and is designed to meet certification requirements for a Physical Containment Level 2 (PC2) laboratory; positioning TECHT as a trusted provider of advanced corrosion testing, microbiological analysis, and biofilm diagnostics.
Serving sectors including mining, marine, infrastructure, and water, we deliver corrosion consulting and engineering solutions tailored to complex environments.
TECHT’s laboratory operates in line with the highest standards of safety, performance, and accuracy, including:
Our laboratory is purpose-built for corrosion testing and analysis, with a strong focus on infrastructure and asset-intensive industries.
We conduct immersion tests, salt spray (fog) testing, intergranular corrosion tests, and accelerated weathering simulations.
Whether you’re an Australian-based mining operator or an engineering consultant, our corrosion consulting services provide the data you need to make informed decisions and implement resilient corrosion management programs.
1. Sampling Kits: Water, Solids, Sludge and Multiphase Fluids
2. MIC Analytical Testing
2a. Most Probable Number (MPN) Analysis
2b. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Testing
2c. Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR)
2d. DNA Sequencing
2e. Coupon analysis
3. Biocide Effectiveness Test
4. Fit-For-Purpose Biofilm and MIC Testing
At TECHT’s Perth-based laboratory, we offer comprehensive Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) testing solutions tailored to your operational needs.
Our advanced methodologies and sampling capabilities ensure accurate detection, monitoring, and mitigation of microbial corrosion risks.
Through MIC management and corrosion consulting, we enable clients to proactively manage deterioration and ensure asset longevity.
Corrosion coupon analysis is a proven and cost-effective method for assessing corrosion rates and environmental aggressiveness over time. At TECHT, our laboratory provides corrosion coupon testing in alignment with industry standards including AMPP SP0775-2013 and AMPP TM0212-2018. This service allows asset owners and engineers to:
Our corrosion consultants work closely with clients to interpret coupon data and integrate findings into broader asset integrity and corrosion management solutions.
TECHT’s in-house facility conducts certified protective coating testing to ensure coating systems perform as expected under harsh environmental conditions.
We assess adhesion strength, coating integrity, cathodic disbondment, and chemical resistance using Australian Standard-compliant corrosion testing methods.
Our corrosion engineering services in Perth support manufacturers, contractors, and asset owners with reliable evaluations to prevent premature coating failures and support QA/QC across asset lifecycles.
We deliver specialised concrete testing services tailored to harsh environments and corrosive exposures common in industrial, marine, and mining applications.
Our laboratory evaluates factors such as chloride ingress, carbonation depth, compressive strength, and alkali-silica reaction susceptibility.
These insights are critical for engineers and asset managers seeking durable design engineering and corrosion mitigation strategies for concrete structures in Western Australia and beyond.
TECHT is committed to pushing the boundaries of corrosion science. Our laboratory team collaborates with clients, universities, and research bodies to deliver custom R&D programs focused on corrosion mechanisms, new material performance, and novel mitigation techniques.
Based in Perth, we support both public and private sector innovation with access to highly specialised corrosion engineering knowledge and real-world testing environments. research, development, and innovation on your behalf.
Working together to innovate tomorrow’s corrosion solutions.
Laboratory testing work has assisted us by simulating process conditions to allow data driven decisions on material selection. Really enjoyed working with the BioTECHT team.
“TECHT was able to assist site personnel to ensure the job got done when undertaking planned maintenance inspections. Service that is over and above.”
“Structural integrity items encompass structural steel and concrete structures that are designed to last for the life of the operation. When the life of mine is extended, action needs to be taken. TECHT engineers assisted in setting up the Structural Integrity Reliability Program at our plant to ensure our structures are fit for purpose for the extended life.”
“TECHT engineers undertook a range of inspections that satisfy our statutory internal and external asset inspection requirements, to a high standard.”
“TECHT undertook a corrosivity assessment of our site and developed a corrosion mitigation plan strategy based on the findings. The report allowed us to downgrade material specifications with confidence, saving the project hundreds of thousands.”
