Nick Doblo APA Group What does your role entail and what does your company do? I am the corrosion engineer responsible for the cathodic protection systems on APAs QLD transmission pipelines. This entails operations support engineering, asset maintenance, cathodic protection design, onsite installation and commissioning of some of the biggest onshore CP systems in Australia....
2nd July 2017The single-coat inorganic zinc silicate (IZS) coating provides one of the most durable and cost-effective coating systems available. Properly applied, it will provide many years durability in even the most severe environments, such as off-shore platforms and other marine applications. Rob Francis [wppdf id=’2451′]

29th June 2017For the first time in New Zealand a local operator has provided a state of the art hybrid corrosion protection system on concrete support piles under a major highway bridge in Auckland. This technology was designed by international experts whose research has revolutionised the understanding of how impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) performs. [wppdf id=’2444′]
29th June 2017Regular and planned asset maintenance is vital for reinforced concrete structures. Such maintenance should not be a ‘cosmetic repair’ but rather a proper root cause analysis that must be carried out to identify and understand the actual source of the problem. [wppdf id=’2437′]
29th June 2017Too often we as engineers and managers of critical infrastructure focus on the technical details in a bid to control corrosion. We focus on the design and the performance of the products we specify to ensure we eliminate corrosion from our assets [wppdf id=’2432′]
29th June 2017I’m often asked questions about holiday testing or, as the Europeans call it,porosity testing. Of course, pinholes in a newly applied coating can leave the substrate exposed to the environment and vulnerable to corrosion. It is the coating inspector’s job to detect and document these defects.

Prior to the commencement of concrete repairs, the fundamental thing to consider is surface preparation. The amelioration of damaged concrete structures involves many elements, from engineers, applicators and even legal counsel. This paper details the primary value of surface preparation, for without good bonding no repair system can be expected to perform. [wppdf id=’2419′]
