MILES of PILES: A Symposium on the Care and Maintenance of Marine Piles

The marine environment is one of the harshest settings in terms of causing the corrosion of metal structures and components. The webinar organised by the Victorian Branch of the Australasian Corrosion Association focuses on marine coatings and technology to minimise problems caused by the corrosion of marine structures. We heard from three leading industry experts, Peter Dove (GHD), Kyle Fortune (Denso) and David Anderson (UCC) on issues and recent advances in this important area.

Corrosion Management In Assets – VIC Branch YCG

This webinar is aimed at university students and young corrosion professionals who are eager to learn more about corrosion and corrosion management in assets. Featuring three great speakers, who have many years of industry knowledge managing a range of different assets. This is an interesting webinar to hear from some experienced professionals and get a better understanding of what is involved with a career in Corrosion Management.

Coatings and Applicators Groups – Annual Award Nominations

Applications are now open for three of our Association's Major Awards - The Victor Nightingall Award, coordinated by our Protective Coatings Technical Groups, and The Rust Award and The Golden Trowel Award offered by our Applicators Technical Group. These awards will be presented at our Annual Corrosion and Prevention Conference, taking place in Newcastle for 2021. We encourage anyone who is interested in submitting a nomination to view further details here.

RT Radiography for Detection of CUI

CUI can be extremely difficult to detect, with insulation and cladding often masking corrosion and traditional methods, such as visual inspection through the removal of cladding and insulation can be time-consuming. Often the true extent of corrosion is not realised until too late, incurring substantial costs and productivity losses for operators. Radiography offers a safe, timely and cost-effective solution for the detection of CUI. The Oil and Gas Technical group of the ACA were fortunate to be joined by John Forlani (KAEFER Integrated Services) who shared some of his expertise with this method with us and discussed some of the key benefits of RT Radiography.
