The UA program offers a multi-disciplinary approach to education, training and research that leverages the academic expertise that is housed across several colleges within UA. While emphasizing strong science and engineering principles, all of our courses, workshops and activities will also integrate a strong management component that will help our students develop a competency in management skills that are necessary for executing "real world" projects. Because of this unique program the Department of Defense has recently named the University of Akron its National Center for Education and Research on Corrosion and Materials Performance.

(Inspection) What Do You Really Need to Know to be a Good Coatings Inspector?

Product Number: 60-COAT_DEC21
Author: William D. Corbett
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

The role of a Coating Inspector has evolved considerably over the past few decades, and the responsibilities have increased over what used to be a rather straightforward job: to verify that surface preparation and coating application meet the project specification requirements. Today there are week-long or multi-week basic and advanced coating inspection courses, specialty courses that are industry-specific (e.g., bridge, nuclear), courses that are substrate-specific (e.g., concrete coatings inspection) and even coating-specific (e.g., inspection of thermal spray coatings).

(Inspection) Coating Condition Assessments: The First Step in Fighting Corrosion on Aboveground Sto

Product Number: 53-COAT_DEC21
Author: Adam G. Beers / Lake H. Barrett, Jr.
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Being proactive and performing scheduled coating condition assessments on above ground storage tanks to prevent corrosion is of utmost importance to protect assets. Undetected corrosion can result in product contamination, section loss, create compliance issues resulting in fines levied by governmental agencies, and increase costs of asset replacement. Planned and detailed coating/lining condition assessments can help a tank owner realize the current condition of their assets and maximize life expectancy.

(Case Studies) Crisis Management for Construction Projects

Product Number: 43-COAT_DEC21
Author: Dr. Akram Saad
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Construction companies will experience a crisis at some point during its existence.
This is especially true for construction companies, where it is not a matter of “if” one will happen but “when” it will happen. A crisis is the sudden occurrence of any unplanned or unexpected event that causes harm to the project /company, employees, or the public. The crisis could be a medical/safety emergency, a natural disaster, or personnel crisis dealing with unethical or illegal activities.
Construction companies must always operate with a “better safe than sorry” mindset. A proactive way to do so is to ensure that there is a crisis management plan in place.
