Introductory session covering:

Come learn and ask the questions you want to know about the Hampton Roads Workforce Council’s efforts for the coatings industry, and how various supports are available for employers and employees training and certifications.

This webcast highlights the use of web-enabled remote monitoring technology for data acquisition from remote locations on pipelines. This is a case study highlighting the development and testing of this toxic gas monitoring solution.

In this webcast, you will learn how this innovative solution demonstrates 5X better corrosion mitigation rates compared to existing insulation options, through proven case studies and data analysis.

The two experts—Ron Bianchetti and Rogelio De Las Casas—who hosted last year’s immensely popular Author Interview Webcast: Potential Theory Applied to Cathodic Protection Design are back.

In this webcast, we will discuss the benefits of digital credentials including access, security, and instant validation.

Session covers:

Discover how nanotechnology, specifically carbon nanotubes (CNTs), is revolutionizing protective coatings. This session will cover the fundamentals of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and highlight their transformative benefits in enhancing coating performance.

Concrete corrosion is a global issue, causing billions in losses annually. But there’s hope! Learn how ancient Roman cement has inspired modern coatings to protect and extend the life of concrete infrastructure.

Zinc coatings provide a barrier that protects the substrate from contact with an electrolyte while keeping away corrosive elements. For this project in Kodiak Island, Alaska, the GNWC crew applied a thermal spray zinc metallizing coating system to an in-service duplex metallized bridge while dealing with challenges such as materials delivery, supply chain issues during COVID, weather fluctuations, and 140-mile=per-hour winds.
