Description: |
Steel pipe has been used in the water industry since the 1860’s. Its history and successful use in the 20th and 21st centuries for buried water and wastewater transmission mains demonstrates that steel pipe is a highly reliable and trusted form of water conveyance. Like all ferrous based pipe materials, steel pipe has a physical tendency to return to its natural state (called corrosion). Effective methods for preventing or stopping corrosion have and should continue to be used for high risk and “critical need” water transmission pipelines. As the cost of transmission pipe, materials, installation, and premature replacement increase, it is imperative that methods to prevent or stop corrosion be used on steel and other ferrous based transmission pipelines. It will also be demonstrated that the owner’s investment can be extended without costly maintenance or rehabilitation. | |||

WW-8 -- CORROSION CONTROL MONITORING FOR WATER SYSTEMS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Course Level: |

Day: |
Wednesday May 19, 2010 | |||
Time: |
11:00 to Noon | |||
Sub-Chairman: |
D. Schumacher | |||
Description: |
Many existing water piping or storage tank systems were constructed with cathodic protection or other means of corrosion control with the goal of extending the operational life and also reducing operation and maintenance cost. It is often stated that the effectiveness of such systems are only as good as the monitoring and maintenance practiced by the owner /operator. The objective of a monitoring program is to verify the integrity of a system, to identify any problem areas, and to assess the need for maintenance and repair. The cost to implement a monitoring program is relatively inexpensive especially when compared to the cost of dealing with unscheduled repairs or interruption of water service. This session will identify techniques and programs available to water utilities to not only maintain the integrity of their water system, but also exceed their anticipated design life. Visual inspections, cathodic protection testing, potential surveys, stray current analysis, continuity testing, coatings, and the use of corrosion coupons will be reviewed and discussed. | |||
