Our Company

MESA is your one-stop shop for protecting assets from rust. We design, install, and maintain cathodic protection systems and pipeline integrity solutions across the country. Cathodic protection (CP) is a method of controlling corrosion, typically on metal assets like pipelines and aboveground storage tanks. Pipeline integrity is a method of evaluating the integrity of a structure – like a pipeline – to determine whether it needs additional protection from corrosion.
Founded in 1979, we have headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with regional offices across the country. Our manufacturing team in Tulsa prepares custom CP solutions and our nationwide construction teams install and implement those systems. Click through our website and you’ll find information about our services, from groundbed installation to VCI technology to AC mitigation solutions. With SAFETY at the forefront, we can customize a solution to fit your needs.
