STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES’ subject matter experts (SMEs) deliver educational training courses that address solutions that repair, protect, and enhance civil and structural infrastructure.
OUR 3-DAY CORROSION TRAINING COURSE INCLUDES:
This training course provides information about corrosion in concrete, including how it develops, systems applied for protection from it, and techniques used to assess the condition of a corroding concrete structure. This course also engages participants in a series of practical lab exercises to reinforce course topics and introduced concepts.
This is a 3-day, 30-hour course approved for 30 CEUs.
OBJECTIVES
- Develop a basic understanding of electricity and chemistry as it relates to corrosion theory and corrosion in concrete.
- Understand cathodic protection principles, review galvanic and impressed current protection systems, and determine when and why to use each system.
- Complete hands-on training that includes operating and testing various galvanic and impressed current cathodic protection systems.
- Discuss corrosion condition assessment investigations and address testing techniques used for this purpose.
- Apply understanding of topics/concepts learned in a series of lab exercises.
