CorrosionRADAR Raises £354k to Develop Remote Corrosion Monitoring Sensors
CorrosionRADAR, a UK-based company developing remote sensors for monitoring corrosion in oil and gas pipelines, secured £354k investment
Mercia Fund Managers invested £250k, while Innovate UK provided £104k through its investment accelerator pilot program
CorrosionRADAR plans to use the funds to develop its technology and business, aiming to secure commercial partners for initial field tests
The company's technology focuses on monitoring corrosion in pipelines, particularly in Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) or buried pipes
The CorrosionRADAR technology is permanently embedded and can pinpoint the location of corrosion along the full length of a pipeline
The goal is to help companies reduce maintenance costs and maintain safe and environmentally friendly operations
CorrosionRADAR is a spin-out from Cranfield University.
ProblemTechnology
