AC Corrosion of Pipelines

Product Number: 37656-e

ISBN: 978-1-57590-400-9

Author: Y. Frank Cheng

Publication Date: 2021

$160.00

AC Corrosion of Pipelines covers the essential topics related to AC corrosion of pipelines, a problem affecting the safety and reliability of underground pipelines. In addition to the basic principles of AC interference induced by adjacent AC power lines and other sources, the book details the adverse effects of the interference on collocated pipelines, including corrosion and pitting corrosion, coating degradation, deviating of cathodic protection potentials, and the ineffectiveness of cathodic protection systems. Moreover, effective management measures to this problem are discussed. It also covers the DC interference and DC corrosion of the pipelines, as compared to the AC corrosion phenomenon. The book, the first of its kind, provides a complete and comprehensive understanding to the phenomenon from both the fundamentals and the author's research experiences.

The reader can learn and understand the basics associated with AC corrosion. Moreover, the book provides solutions and industry practice to mitigate, control, and manage AC corrosion of pipelines. The reader can thus learn the appropriate solutions to the problem. Finally, the book also includes DC corrosion of pipelines, in addition to AC corrosion, another essential problem to the buried pipelines with the increasing development of HVDC power lines. All of them contribute to improved knowledge base and recommended solutions for the actual problem threating the integrity and safety of pipelines.

Alleviating Stray Current Concerns “Our Infrastructure is Corroding!”

Product Number: 51323-19233-SG

Author: Kevin J. Sunderman

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Stray current prevention, where do you start? When dealing with stray current from a DC Transit
system it is all about building in “layers” of protection. This begins right from the start of your project through the creation of a design and maintenance guideline, through construction with inspection and testing plans and then through long range testing and maintenance plans.

Assessment And Rehabilitation Of Piping Inside Water And Wastewater Treatment Plants

Product Number: 51322-18200-SG

Author: Manuel Najar

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Many pipelines within water and wastewater treatment plants that were constructed within the last 50 years are nearing the end of their service lives. Owners have invested in condition assessments to help them make the difficult decision to repair or replace these pipelines.

Bridge Brothers: The Documentary

Product Number: 51218-132-SG

Author: Louis Lyras, Matt White

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

This paper identifies the problems and challenges with the making of the Bridge Brothers documentary, from its inception to the distribution. It will discuss the intent of the film from the perspective of the filmmakers, and the bridge painting contractor. The documentary explains the importance of re-painting and rehabilitating our nation’s bridges, while exploring life on the bridge for the industrial bridge painters (Bridge Brothers) on the Commodore Barry and Walt Whitman Bridges in Philadelphia.

CFRP Reinforcement Anode For Cathodic Protection Of Steel Rebar

Product Number: 51322-17877-SG

Author: Xavier Hallopeau, Olivier Lesieutre, Camille Annede-Villeau

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Only a few researchers have studied the effect of carbon fiber repair on corrosion processes. The main protective effect is the "protective barrier" which is sometimes called passive protection against corrosion, comparable to some techniques such as anticorrosion coatings of concrete structures. Indeed, CFRP materials, applied as external reinforcing material on reinforced concrete structures form a protective barrier against the penetration of moisture and pollutants such as chlorides or carbon dioxide.^1.2.3.4.5 Apart from this impermeable barrier action, it has been found in these studies that the confinement of CFRP concrete has a positive influence on the onset of corrosion and on its velocity. Very little research has investigated the coupling between mechanical reinforcement and impressed current system.^6,7,8

Concern For The Future Of OUR Workforce

Product Number: 51218-128-SG

Author: Nick Kuntz

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Construction labor experts are becoming overwhelmingly concerned that we will not have the workforce to maintain, let alone rebuild, our country’s infrastructure. Projections for Project Management and Skilled Labor tell us the issue is worsening by the day with no solution on the horizon. Confidence in employee and employer accountability is at an all time low. The painting and coating industry is both safety sensitive and labor intensive. This risk is unique, in that it touches every aspect of your company, starting with employee safety.

Author: Jeffrey S. West, Casey Jones, Stephen W. Foster

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

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 POLICY AND OVERSIGHT OFFICE OF THE UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE FOR ACQUISITION, TECHNOLOGY AND LOGISTICS

Product Number: 51218-106-SG

Author: Daniel Dunmire

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

We have known for years that our country’s infrastructure has been deteriorating, with little being done to prevent further degradation or to restore vital roads, bridges, tunnels, airports and railways to a safe, operable condition. Because of this serious problem, President Donald Trump promised a $1 trillion infrastructure investment to repair what he called the nation's "crumbling" infrastructure, and to initiate a "new program of national rebuilding."

Degrading Sewage Pipes an Opportunity for Contractors

Product Number: 41209-516-SG

Author: Elfriede Lynch, Teresa Valdes

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

The EPA estimates it will cost $390 billion over the next 20 years to repair or replace the crumbling wastewater infrastructure. Replacing infrastructure is costly, and in light of current economic conditions and worldwide budget cuts, often impossible to do. Alternatively, the use of single coat, fast cure high performance epoxy linings to rehabilitate sewage pipelines instead of replacing them will save municipalities considerable money and time, making it not only possible but practical for municipalities to protect their local environments today from sewage leaks.
