Course Overview
Metallic structures are fundamental components of industrial and civil infrastructure, including bridges, pipelines, towers, and industrial facilities. Over time, these structures are exposed to environmental, chemical, and mechanical factors that lead to corrosion—compromising structural integrity, increasing maintenance costs, and posing safety risks.
Accurate corrosion assessment and efficient treatment are essential to extend the service life of these assets and ensure operational reliability. This requires a deep understanding of corrosion types, causes, detection methods, and the application of appropriate mitigation and repair techniques.
Modern treatment technologies include protective coatings, cathodic protection, composite materials, and both mechanical and chemical repair methods.
This workshop is designed to equip participants with the skills to evaluate corrosion damage, select the right treatment strategies, and implement preventive maintenance plans using advanced tools and industry best practices.
Through hands-on training, case studies, and technical models, participants will learn how to turn theoretical knowledge into practical, field-ready solutions that enhance safety and performance.
