Structures, like people, have a life cycle. Eventually, they reach the end of their lifespan and need to be replaced. However, what if there was a way to extend that life cycle?
Through rehabilitation and maintenance, many old structures can be brought back to life and used for years or even centuries longer than originally intended. This is an important process that deserves attention from both the general public and professionals in the field of architecture and engineering. By understanding the benefits of rehabilitation and extending the life of old structures, we can create a more sustainable future for all.

Smart infrastructure design and specification for remote monitoring and control of corrosion monitoring and corrosion prevention
Cathodic protection is a corrosion control technique that uses electrical current to prevent or slow down metal corrosion. It is an important part of maintaining water infrastructure, such as pipelines and bridges, as well as other types of infrastructure. In order for cathodic protection to work effectively, it must be properly monitored and maintained. These…
Are you an engineer in the field or a student eager to expand your knowledge on one of the deepest and most complex disciplines out there? If so, ensure you don’t miss out on our upcoming corrosion and cathodic protection online training program! Whether you have experience in this area or are just getting started,…
Concrete and steel are two of the most common materials used in construction. When these materials are used in conjunction with one another, they create a very strong and durable structure. However, when either of these materials begins to deteriorate, the whole structure can be compromised. Here are some steps that should be taken to…
The key to successful cathodic protection site installation and quality assurance is site audits. With site audits, the installation can be closely monitored and tested to ensure that it meets the required specifications and standards. Audits conducted during installation will identify any potential issues, allowing professionals to make corrections that cannot be detected with regular…
