Understanding the severity of corrosion on an asset is critical. Failure to monitor the condition properly can lead to potentially catastrophic failures of structures and equipment.

 

Corrosion surveys provide vital information to evaluate the severity of corrosion or degradation of a metal structure and determine the remaining service life and identify potential safety hazards.

 

It’s also paramount when deciding on maintenance, not only could the severity of corrosion determine how quickly maintenance is required, but it may also determine the requirements and potential for steel replacement
