Corrosion
Cost effective corrosion protection of structural steelwork should present little difficulty for common applications and environments if the factors that affect durability are recognised at the outset.
The optimum protection treatment for a given environment combines appropriate surface preparation, suitable coating materials, required durability and minimum cost.
This Section aims to give specifiers an insight into identifying the factors involved and selection of modern surface treatment technology through the following publications:
Building interior and perimeter walls
This fold out brochure is intended to provide an easy guide to corrosion protection systems for engineers, architects and specifiers concerned with new buildings.
Corrosion protection of steel bridges
The use of steel for modern bridges has grown significantly over the last 20 years. Engineers and specifiers have recognised the benefits that steel offers as a construction material, which combined with imaginative designs has resulted in some striking bridges that have not escaped the public’s attention.
Exposed atmospheric environment
This fold out brochure is intended to provide an easy guide to corrosion protection systems for engineers, architects and specifiers concerned with new buildings.
Indoor swimming pool buildings
This fold out brochure is intended to provide an easy guide to corrosion protection systems for engineers, architects and specifiers concerned with new buildings.
Steel bearing piles
This document is intended to provide guidance on the corrosion and protection of H-section universal bearing piles used for the foundations to all types of structures.
