Founded in 2020.

Gray Jay Corrosion is a technically driven firm dedicated to the long-term integrity of your assets. We combine field-proven expertise with a modern, efficient approach to corrosion control — and we are responsive, because the owners are the ones answering the phone.

Our goal is to be a trusted partner in infrastructure integrity for companies of every size: reliable service, clear communication and results that stand up to both regulatory standards and real-world conditions.

How we work

Respect, transparency, hard work

Strong business relationships are built on all three. We tell you what we found, what it means and what we would do about it, in that order.

Clear communication

Every conversation stays clear, even when it takes some back-and-forth. Calls are documented, nothing gets lost between meetings, and you always know where the work stands.

A long-term partner, not a vendor

We keep your records, your GIS layers and your risk register current year over year, so each season builds on the last.

Our Core Values

How we work with our clients and with each other.

Safety First

Safety comes first on every project. We plan each field program around site-specific hazards, follow our clients’ safety requirements, and every team member has the authority to stop work if conditions are unsafe.

Honesty and Integrity

We report our findings accurately and transparently, explain what they mean for your assets, and recommend only what the data supports. We stand behind every report we deliver.

Ownership of Our Work

We take ownership of every task and every project, in the office or in the field. We are prepared for demanding field conditions and see each project through to a complete, high-quality result.

One Team

We work as one team. Knowledge is shared freely, questions are always welcome, and we support each other’s workloads so projects stay on schedule.

Always Improving

We invest in ongoing training and new technology, and we continually refine how we collect, manage and report field data so our clients receive clearer, more useful results.

Our Story

Gray Jay Corrosion was founded in 2020 as a cathodic protection company. As our clients’ needs grew, so did our services. Today we also provide pipeline integrity engineering services, right-of-way inspection, and offer software solutions such as PipeGuard, our pipeline and data management software, for operators who want their integrity data, risk scores, and field results mapped in one place.
