Corrosion Condition Assessment Program For Marine Asset Management

This paper describes the development of a formal corrosion inspection and condition assessment program to support corrosion and asset management planning for maritime structures at Port Houston. A hierarchical, elemental-based inspection approach was developed using visual inspection criteria and prescribed measurements to characterize the condition of coatings and cathodic protection systems for above- and underwater elements in maritime structures.

Corrosion management systems have been adopted widely by the oil, gas, and process industries. In contrast, adoption of these approaches in civil and maritime infrastructure is still in its early stages. A corrosion management plan begins with understanding a few key items. First, identify what infrastructure elements are present and should be inventoried. Second, identify what construction materials and corrosion protection measures are already in place. Third, understand the nature and severity of environmental and usage-related exposures and impact on corrosion. Lastly, implement a systematic approach to assessing the condition and performance of corrosion protection measures over time to improve design, maintenance, and repair.
