When pipeline failures are discussed, the conversation often centers on what happens years after installation: corrosion ...

Cathodic protection system optimisation seeks to balance effective corrosion control with minimal energy consumption and material use. Central to this endeavour is the design and placement of ...

Corrosion of steel structures in electric transmission, distribution, and substation applications has been around for many years, but it’s getting more attention as electric utilities become more ...

Cathodic corrosion protection is a widely used technique for protecting steel-based infrastructure from corrosion. ETH researchers have now clarified the detailed mechanisms involved, thereby ...

The integrity management of unpiggable pipelines continues to present a major challenge to operators, as conventional in-line ...

Chapter 6 describes initial subsurface site characterization and post-steel-installation subsurface monitoring. This chapter focuses on practices for monitoring the steel itself. Once in the ...

Corrosion of buried steel can be managed through one or some combination of the following four approaches: (1) the service life of the steel can be increased with additional steel incorporated into ...
