Deterioration Investigation and Assessment

Reinforced Concrete

Evaluation and identification of deterioration mechanisms for reinforced concrete including:

​

• Chloride induced corrosion of steel-reinforced concrete

• Carbonation induced corrosion of steel-reinforced concrete

• Influence of stray current on steel-reinforced concrete durability

Metallic Structures

Evaluation and identification of deterioration mechanisms for metallic structures including:

​

• Accelerated Low Water Corrosion ALWC

• Microbial induced or assisted corrosion

• Soil corrosivity assessment

• Crevice and pitting corrosion of stainless steels and other corrosion-resistant alloys

• Influence of stray current interaction from foreign CP, DC metro, or traction systems

• Atmospheric corrosion

• Bi-metallic corrosion

• Concentration or differential oxygenation corrosion

• Protective coating failures
