Corrosion Training Course
January 14, 2020 @ 8:00 am - January 16, 2020 @ 5:00 pm EST
STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES’ recognized subject matter experts (SMEs) deliver educational training courses to our engineering partners that specifically address solutions that repair, protect, and enhance civil and structural infrastructure. Our SMEs and market specialists will work with you to ensure each session is tailored to meet your needs.
OUR 3-DAY CORROSION TRAINING COURSE INCLUDES:
Corrosion of concrete is a significant contributor to the decay and damage of infrastructure in the United States. Understanding the causes that lead to this problem is important to best implement optimal solutions. 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 cathodic protection systems and impressed current cathodic 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 various testing techniques used for this purpose.
- Demonstrate understanding of topics/concepts discussed each day by successfully participating in a series of practical lab exercises.
