 LIDA FABRICATION

As one of the leading suppliers of cathodic protection materials, MESA offers a complete line of impressed current anodes.  We have assembled cast iron and graphite anodes in our Tulsa plant for many years.  Until recently, we distributed LIDA mixed metal anodes but did not assemble them.  In June, MESA was licensed by Eltech to assemble and sell the full line of mixed metal anodes.  With full control of manufacturing for a complete line of impressed current anodes, MESA can ensure speedy product delivery. 

In order to become licensed, MESA acquired special fabrication equipment including a hydraulic press and helium tester.  MESA technicians underwent training at the Sugar Land facility of Eltech and at the MESA plant in Tulsa to become competent in LIDA fabrication processes.  A complete inventory of anode components is now available in Tulsa for rapid response. 

LIDA anodes are fabricated using a proprietary connection process developed through extensive testing.  Anode cables are attached with a special copper crimp connector and each connection is electrical resistance tested and helium tested to ensure trouble-free performance.  Each anode is offered with a 5-year warranty.  

LIDA anodes have been used worldwide since 1981 in a wide variety of underground and water applications.  Size, weight, and durability combine to offer advantages over most of the other traditional impressed current anodes materials.  We are excited about this new opportunity for MESA and what it means to our customers:  quick product delivery and manufacturing in an ISO 9002 certified environment.
