Corrosion, Electrical and Forensic Engineering in Oklahoma
Dreiym Engineering provides cathodic protection and corrosion engineering, electrical power studies and forensic investigations across Oklahoma, from our offices in Coldspring, Texas and Westcliffe, Colorado. Our Oklahoma work has included cathodic protection designs for water systems in Tulsa and Del City and for piping at a federal installation in central Oklahoma, construction-phase services on a Tulsa CP installation, a stray-current investigation in Oklahoma City, and grounding tests at an airport in Norman.
For intrastate pipelines, the pipeline safety regulator is the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Our engineers are licensed Professional Engineers with active and past licensure in multiple states, and our work is PE-stamped where required.

Corrosion Engineering
Crude storage around Cushing, gathering systems and long rural pipeline corridors all depend on cathodic protection that works. We run close interval and DCVG surveys, interference and stray current testing where lines cross or run side by side, and soil corrosivity analysis. We design, install and commission CP for pipelines, tanks and water systems, and provide construction-phase services so the system is built the way it was designed.
Electrical Engineering
Ice storms, lightning and high winds are hard on Oklahoma’s electrical systems, and wind generation is a large part of the state’s grid. Our electrical engineers run arc flash studies, short circuit analysis and protection coordination studies in ETAP and SKM for industrial plants, utilities and generation facilities, and grounding system tests like the one at an airport in Norman.
Forensic Engineering
Carriers, law firms and owners bring us Oklahoma fires and explosions, electrical failures after storms and lightning, and corrosion failures on pipelines and tanks. We inspect the scene as soon as possible, examine evidence at our Coldspring, Texas lab, and write reports and testify.
About Us
Who Handles Oklahoma Projects
Dreiym Engineering was founded in 2014, with offices in Coldspring, Texas, where our engineering lab is, and Westcliffe, Colorado. Oklahoma projects are run from those offices.
Stepan V. Eero, M.S., P.E. is a NACE CP Specialist (CP4). Brian J. Brackensick, M.S., P.E. is a NACE CP Technologist and leads our electrical power studies.
Working in Oklahoma
Oklahoma is central to how the country stores and moves crude oil. Cushing is one of the largest crude oil storage hubs in the United States, and the tank farms, terminals and gathering systems that feed it are spread across hundreds of miles of rural right-of-way. For those operators we run close interval and DCVG surveys, test for interference where lines cross or run side by side, and design cathodic protection for new construction and rehabilitation. Protected pipelines are surveyed at least once each calendar year, at intervals not exceeding 15 months, and we format the reports for your compliance records, whether the line answers to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission or to federal regulators.
Cities and utilities have buried assets too. A water main is a chain of joined segments, and cathodic protection only reaches metal that current can reach, so a water system design starts with continuity and bonding. On a multi-building complex, water and gas piping, conduit and structural steel tie the buildings together in ways the drawings no longer show, and stray current can follow paths it was never meant to use. Our article on how stray current corrosion damages infrastructure explains the mechanism.
A CP system can be built almost entirely wrong and still look right, so on installations we review submittals, observe the work while the trench is open, and test the system when it is energized. When a storm, lightning or an equipment defect causes a fire or failure in Oklahoma City, Tulsa or anywhere between, our forensic engineers investigate it for owners, insurers and law firms.

Frequently asked questions
Who regulates pipeline cathodic protection in Oklahoma?
For intrastate pipelines, pipeline safety is regulated by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission; interstate lines are under federal oversight. Protected pipelines are surveyed at least once each calendar year, at intervals not exceeding 15 months, and rectifiers are inspected six times a year.
Do you design cathodic protection for water systems?
Yes, as we did for Tulsa and Del City. The design starts with which segments of the main are electrically continuous, the soil along the route and what else is connected, then sets the anodes, bonds and test stations. Unless you specify otherwise, we design galvanic systems for a 20-year life and impressed current systems for a 30-year life.
What is a stray-current investigation?
A search for DC current leaving its intended path, for example from a foreign CP system or a DC power source, and discharging from your structure, where it causes concentrated pitting. We measure potentials and currents, find the source and recommend the fix. See our interference testing page.
Can you oversee a CP installation?
Yes. Our construction-phase services cover submittal review, site observation while the work is open, and testing once the system is energized. We can also install the system ourselves.
Do you have an office in Oklahoma?
No. Oklahoma projects are run from our offices in Coldspring, Texas and Westcliffe, Colorado, and our engineers travel to Oklahoma sites for field work and scene inspections.
