Induron Protective Coatings was proud to return to the CEATI Transmission & Distribution Conference, which took place in Orlando, FL, on November 11–12, 2025. This conference represents one of the few opportunities we as suppliers have, to freely engage directly with the utility owners and engineers maintaining North America’s aging T&D infrastructure.
Our focus at CEATI, along with other industry events is pretty straightforward: addressing the catastrophic, persistent threat of corrosion—the primary driver of structural failure, premature replacement, and costly service disruptions across the electric utility sector.
The vast majority of North America’s electrical infrastructure, including vital transmission towers, poles, and substation assets, is now approaching or exceeding its original service life. In this context, corrosion is far more than a simple maintenance issue; it represents an urgent structural crisis that threatens overall system reliability and drives significant operational expenditure.
Induron is here to demonstrate that asset replacement is often unnecessary. Our high-performance protective coatings, including advanced ceramic epoxies, moisture-cured urethanes, high-build, reinforced alkyds and other time tested technologies, are specialized to halt corrosion in the harshest environments. These proven solutions dramatically extend the service life of aging steel and concrete, transforming expensive capital replacement cycles into predictable, cost-effective maintenance programs.
For Induron as a specialized corrosion control supplier, the CEATI T&D Conference offers exceptional, targeted benefits. It provides an exclusive platform for direct engagement with the utility asset managers and specification engineers who are actively seeking ways to manage and overcome corrosion challenges. We gain crucial face-to-face time to discuss developing custom coatings specifications, troubleshoot unique environmental challenges, and educate the market on the long-term value of high-quality corrosion control. By serving as a trusted technical partner to CEATI attendees, Induron helps utilities safeguard their critical infrastructure, ensure enduring grid resilience against structural failure, and uphold reliable power delivery for the next century.
