Concrete is claimed to be the second most common manmade material with about 1 cubic yard produced for every person on the planet per year, resulting in more than twice as much concrete being used as any other building material.

The technical challenges of alternating current (AC) mitigation within cathodic protection systems are a major and growing concern for owners and operators of critical infrastructure across the world.

Confirming effective cathodic protection on a target structure involves verification of accurate measured potentials to compare against industry criteria. This is often performed via an interrupted survey to remove certain errors, yet a capacitive effect present in some situations may influence the readings, leading the operator toward incorrect conclusions.

Corrosion under Insulation (CUI) is a widespread problem affecting several industries, causing significant loss of containment events. Due to its aggressive but hidden nature, CUI poses a significant challenge to operators. This presentation discusses approaches for combating CUI.

The presence of moisture is necessary for corrosion under insulation (CUI) to occur. When designing process facilities, the selection of the insulation system is an important factor. Improper choices can not only lead to under-performing insulation systems, but also contribute to issues associated with CUI.

This presentation will discuss how the numerical simulation of corrosion, in conjunction with simulation apps and machine learning algorithms, can be used to successfully predict the corrosion performance of materials in service environments.

This webcast will address how drone inspection differs between bridges, historic buildings, powerlines, and ship ballast tanks and will get you started in the proper direction to employing a contracted or in-house drone inspection program.

This webcast will discuss the use of thick-film polyurea elastomeric coating and lining systems, including common issues and challenges that are either over-looked or shortcuts that shouldn’t be taken.

Now not only do you need to worry about an OSHA inspector at your door but also hovering above your worksite! OSHA inspectors can use Unmanned Aircraft Systems (i.e., “drones”) to conduct certain types of workplace compliance inspections.

Polyurethanes, polyureas, and polyaspartics – three coating types synonymous with high performance and durability – will be compared in this fun tutorial aimed at the non-technical user and decision-maker in the Infrastructure segment.
