Infrastructure Condition Assessment

Specializing in the study, evaluation, and mitigation of corrosion processes related to operating infrastructure. Each infrastructure corrosion exposure condition encountered is evaluated and defined through a combination of standard technical methods, regulatory requirements and innovative approaches.

Condition Assessment Approach

CorrTech utilizes a variety of condition assessment techniques Concrete condition determination - Metallurgical evaluation - Non-destructive testing methods Coating condition evaluation - Statistical analyses - Exposure definition

Soil Corrosivity

Standard field test protocol is employed to determine soil corrosivity. Soil resistivity - Soil moisture - pH - Water concentration - Sulfide concentration - Chloride concentration - Redox potential

Concrete Condition

Determination of concrete structure deterioration utilizing standard protocol and industry standard evaluation procedures - pH - Moisture - Spalling - Contaminants - Composition Cement paste loss - Strength determination (petrographic analysis)

Metallurgical Assessments

Laboratory procedures are utilized to determine failure mechanisms and other qualitative documentation, analyses performed in accordance with recognized standards: Electron microscope -Chemical analyses - Climatic chambers - Material performance evaluation - Energy dispersive spectroscopy
