Advancing Infrastructure Life Extension: John Paul Segers Attains Rare ISO 15257 Level 5 CP Expert Certification
The Institute of Corrosion (ICorr) has officially certified John Paul Segers—founder and Principal Consultant of SegCorr Ltd—as an ISO 15257 Level 5 Cathodic Protection Expert for Reinforced Concrete Structures.
This achievement represents the highest international benchmark for competence in the cathodic protection (CP) industry. It is a tier reserved strictly for those who have made documented, original contributions to the science and practice of corrosion control.
John Paul is a Chartered Engineer (CEng), a Fellow of the Institute of Corrosion (FICorr), and a Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (FIMMM). He brings 29 years of international experience to this elite certification tier.
While he retains Level 4 Specialist status across buried, immersed, and internal metallic surface sectors, this new Level 5 status solidifies his position as an authoritative expert in safeguarding high-risk reinforced concrete assets. These assets include bridges, car parks, tunnels, marine structures, and historic concrete infrastructure.
Through his independent UK consultancy, SegCorr Ltd, John Paul will leverage this certification to provide elite oversight, advanced corrosion management audits, and peer reviews. While both Level 4 Specialists and Level 5 Experts are fully qualified under ISO 15257 to execute complex designs and validations, John Paul’s Level 5 status brings an additional layer of strategic sector expertise to high-stakes infrastructure.
Beyond his consulting work, John Paul has a long legacy of driving industry education. A veteran educator who has delivered nearly 200 days of formal institutional teaching and 30 days of examining for ICorr CP courses across all sectors, he also presents guest lectures at the University of Leeds and the University of Birmingham. His independent, award-winning online course, “Fundamentals of Design for Cathodic Protection of Steel in Concrete,” previously claimed the Structural Concrete Alliance Chairman’s Innovation of the Year Award.
This milestone underscores the vital role that top-tier, accredited engineering expertise plays in safely managing infrastructure asset life extension across the UK and international markets.
