Our firm is very experienced in conducting field
investigations and specialty inspections as necessary to be able to
provide specific corrosion control recommendations on various types
of structures including water transmission and distribution
pipelines, water storage tanks, water treatment plant structures as
well as raw water facilities and structures. Field investigation and
analysis experience includes the following:
- Inspect structures
and investigate corrosion related leaks
- Monitor rectifier
stations
- Analyze corrosion
products
- Analyze coating
failures and Inspect coating applications
- Recommend addition
of test stations for purposes of stray current monitoring and
control
- Performing various
soil tests
- Conduct close
internal potential surveys
- Recommend
installation of IR drop free test stations in critical locations
- Perform surveys of
cathodic protection systems for pipelines, reservoirs and tanks
- Preparation of
cathodic protection and stray current survey reports
- Preparation of cost
estimates for recommended remedial action
- Evaluate and comment
on engineered cathodic protection/corrosion control systems
Additional
related activities that we can provide to support the above work
includes the following:
- Confined space entry
requirements
- Traffic control for
inspections and excavations
- Test equipment
operation and maintenance
- Rectifier testing
and repair
- Safety equipment and
techniques to facilitate inspections of pipelines and other
structures
- A risk assessment
matrix
• Estimate the extent of corrosion to pipelines and
identify and rank those with high susceptibility for failure
• Identify the degree of improvements necessary –
replacement, repair, or restoration of cathodic protection
systems, etc.
• Provide a cost-benefit analysis of proposed improvements
- Provide and
assessment of the condition level of pipes, valves, fittings,
and other components. Include methodology for estimating
condition of pipes between test locations.
- Provide a summary of
findings with appropriate drawings or maps to identify locations
- Provide mitigation
measures to prevent further corrosion
- Provide repair
alternatives
- Provide replacement
recommendations
- Prepare budget level
construction estimates
