Our Story
Zoe Coull founded ICE Dragon in 2016 to address the corrosion maintenance gap in the mining industry and the need for more effective risk-management solutions.
While listening to an industry speaker in an undergraduate lecture at the age of 17, Zoe realised the extent to which corrosion could affect people’s safety, the environment, and business viability. It was the link she sought between her love of science and her quest to make the world a safer place! Zoe has worked in corrosion ever since.
- We strive toward the highest standards of environmental and safety practices
- We promote a proactive, prevention-based approach to corrosion maintenance planning
- We empower our clients with the knowledge and roadmap to sustain their corrosion mitigation programs for the highest return on investment
- We believe in the value of long term partnerships with our clients (many of whom have been working with us since inception!)
- We take a people-first approach, bringing fresh perspectives to the mining industry with diversity of thought and creative methodologies
