WATER AND WASTEWATER PROGRAM
This course addresses the identification and mitigation of corrosion of buried piping systems in water and wastewater utilities. It is intended for maintenance, engineering and management personnel. Course topics include corrosion control economics, corrosion mechanisms, field corrosion and integrity testing, methods of mitigation, and corrosion issues related to specific piping materials (steel, ductile iron, and pre-stressed concrete cylinder pipe) used in the water and wastewater industries.

WW-8 -- CORROSION CONTROL MONITORING FOR WATER SYSTEMS

Course Level:

N/A

Day:

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

Time:

11:00 to Noon

Sub-Chairman:

D. Simpson

Description:

Many existing water piping or storage tank systems were constructed with a 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 corrosion coupons will be reviewed and discussed.
