Synopsis

Corrosion is a worldwide problem. The destructive effect from corrosion is significant in various industry sectors from marine and infrastructure to oil and gas as well as power generation and utilities. There are so many consequences of corrosion that can be further divided into direct and indirect consequences which has major cost implications, health and safety issues, loss of production and downtime, loss of product, loss of efficiency and the list goes on.

As new infrastructure development is on the rise, corrosion control is to be implemented from the start and aging assets management and corrosion mitigation is the key. It is important for corrosion professionals to reinforce the message that corrosion control planning is a critical component for all new infrastructure development and this applies to all fields of engineering.

Through this half-day course, the following topics will be covered which shall guide you in finding the right solution for your corrosion problems:

 What is Corrosion?
 Consequences of Corrosion
 Corrosion Protection & Management
 Corrosion Inspection and Monitoring
 Application of Technical Standards in the Industry
 Practical Demonstration of Corrosion Audit Survey

Understanding and learning the new a language in corrosion management could actually reduce a USD 2.5 trillion global cost of corrosion.
