Our Story
ICE was founded in 2016 by Zoe Coull to address the corrosion gap in industry and the need for more efficient corrosion 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 a quest to save the world! Zoe has worked in corrosion since then.
- At ICE, our mission is to improve the way clients manage corrosion risk. At the same time, we seek to promote and uphold the highest standards of environmental policy and practice.
- We work with mining and infrastructure clients worldwide. Our projects range from the small and straightforward, to the large and more complex.
- We believe in the value of long-term partnerships with our clients, many of whom we’ve worked with since inception.
