This powerpoint presentation provides information on external corrosion control, the most critical component of effective water main infrastructure planning and management. Topics covered include: design and construction;operation and maintenance; and,rehabilitation and service life extension strategies. Project summary included: corrosion is inevitable (unless you do something about it);corrosion is predictable;corrosion is often the root cause of cast and ductile iron pipe failures;proven, cost effective corrosion control strategies existfor new and existing pipelines;corrosion detection and control can be cost effectively installed and monitored;suitably designed, corrosion control is construction and maintenance friendly;cathodic protection is a simple, low-maintenance electrical system; and,corrosion control is key for effective infrastructure management. Includes figures.
