Chris Wozencroft is an experienced Forensic Civil Engineer, with a focus on corrosion problems and is a leading expert in the diagnosis and treatment of Regent Street Disease – the corrosion of the steel frames within masonry clad buildings. These steel frames were at their most popular from the late 1890s to around 1950, when construction methods changed.

He graduated from Loughborough University in 2007 where he gained a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Construction Engineering Management and prior to working in consulting, Chris was engaged at the hard end of the industry as a site engineer on heavy civil engineering projects.

His current employment is Corrosion Engineering Solutions Ltd where he works as a Technical Director. He has expertise in investigating and diagnosing defects in structures and buildings and has designed cathodic protection systems to protect many buildings and bridges in the UK [including Grade 1/A, Grade II* historic structures].

Chris is a dedicated technical tutor with extensive experience of training graduates, apprentices and placement students – including delivering many Level 1, 2 and Level 3 cathodic protection courses for ICorr.  He is extremely passionate about making technical training available to all, with an energetic and uncompromising style.

Chris has been teaching ICorr courses since 2016 after gaining his ICorr Level 4 Certification in 2014.  He finds the opportunity to improve the knowledge and skills of those working in CP in the construction industry immensely rewarding and enjoys meeting new people and nurturing new talent. For him, the best part is seeing someone discover a new path they had not previously considered and then helping them realise their potential.

ICorr is always interested in hearing from CP Level 4 professionals who are ready to take the opportunity to help progress their industry colleagues. Would you be able to join us? If yes, please contact: Cathodic Protection Scheme Manager Email: cpsm@icorr.org
