5-Day Training Course

Corrosion and Concrete Protection

Principles, Monitoring and Control

Course Overview

Corrosion is a widespread and costly issue across various industries, particularly in concrete structures where steel reinforcement becomes exposed to atmospheric conditions and various chemical agents. Aggressive substances like carbon dioxide, de-icing chemicals, and seawater can penetrate moist concrete, leading to the corrosion of steel reinforcement. As corrosion products develop, they can cause cracks in the concrete, exposing the steel further. This initiates a cycle of deterioration, where both the concrete and reinforcement degrade, eventually resulting in structural failure.

This 5-day Energy Corrosion and Concrete Protection training course offers participants a deep understanding of corrosion and its impact on concrete systems. The course will help attendees identify corrosion-related issues, determine their underlying causes, and choose appropriate inspection, maintenance, and control strategies. This knowledge is essential for any organization looking to prevent the significant costs associated with corrosion-related damage and maintenance.

Key topics covered in this Energy training course include:

  • Fundamentals of Corrosion Principles and Mechanisms
  • Different Types of Corrosion Related to Concrete Systems
  • Techniques for Corrosion Minimization, Control, and Protection
  • Material Properties in Construction
  • Methods for Corrosion Monitoring and Inspection
  • Key Aspects of Corrosion Management

Course Objectives

By the conclusion of this Energy training course, participants will be able to:

  • Comprehend the core principles and mechanisms of corrosion.
  • Identify the various types of corrosion, especially those affecting concrete systems.
  • Recognize the environmental and aggressive agents that influence concrete corrosion.
  • Apply suitable corrosion protection techniques, such as cathodic protection and coatings.
  • Understand essential metallurgical concepts and the properties of construction materials.
  • Design and implement corrosion inspection and control strategies effectively.

Training Methodology

This Energy Corrosion and Concrete Protection training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. This involves regular discussion of applications as well as hands-on exposure to real life examples.

Participants will be provided with comprehensive hard and electronic training course notes and copies of all presentation material. Relevant computer simulations and videos will be utilised to help with the understanding of the various topics.
