The City Public Service Board of San Antonio, Texas (CPS Energy) is the largest municipally owned gas and electric utility company in the nation. CPS Energy owns a fleet of power generation plants with a combined output of over 4,500 MW. In 2011, CPS initiated an Asset Corrosion-Protection Program for its power generating facilities to proactively protect its assets from coating degradation and premature corrosion.

Cracks in a concrete substrate pose a challenge for coatings. Cracks that are not properly identified and addressed can lead to premature failure of the coating. This paper will discuss the forces that cause cracking in concrete structures, as well as crack types and repair techniques.
The corrosion profession, and the certified professionals who work in the industry, are committed to protecting people, assets, and the environment from the effects of corrosion. Those tasked with delivering the technical expertise to society must conduct their work with the knowledge and understanding of the ethical principles expected and required of those professionals.
The AMPP Code of Ethics is discussed in conjunction with relevant case studies and features real-life ethical violations of the AMPP attestations. Frameworks for making ethical decisions are also reviewed in this course along with the factors in the corrosion industry that can lead to unethical behavior.
This is an online, self-paced course which should take 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. After you have purchased the course in the store, log into your AMPP profile and select “Online Courses” to begin.
Purchase of this course includes a one-year subscription and is non-refundable. Students will have access to all course materials for a period of one year from the date of registration. All course work must be completed during this time period. Extensions or transfers cannot be granted.
HISTORICAL DOCUMENT. Design, materials, and installation procedures that to attain long-term service from a variety of polymer flooring systems. For manufacturers, specifiers, applicators, and facility owners who specify protective polymer flooring systems for concrete.
The moisture assessment was determined by using a combination of 4 different methods rather than using one single method. On previous projects, the consultants had experience with the inaccuracy of some of the methods.
This report is intended for use by engineers attempting to protect corroding reinforced concrete structures by the use of electrochemical treatment techniques. The information presented in this report is limited to ECE for atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete.
New for 2018! This NACE International state-of-the-art report contains information about materials that provide a corrosion-resistant alternative to plain carbon steel reinforcing bar (rebar). The report is intended for use by engineers when considering the use of alternative concrete reinforcement and post- or prestressing strand materials with higher corrosion resistance than that of conventional carbon steel alloys.
This AMPP standard practice presents the requirements for electrochemical chloride extraction and electrochemical realkalization of reinforcing steel in atmospherically exposed concrete structures.The standard provides the designengineer and contractor with the requirements for control of corrosion of conventional reinforcing steel in Portland cement concrete structures through the application of chloride extraction or realkalization.This standard is intended foruse by owners, engineers, architects, contractors, and all those concerned with rehabilitation of corrosion-damagedreinforced concrete structures.
This AMPP standard practice provides a structure for setting up and maintaining a Corrosion Management System (the System) for existing atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete structures. This standard is concerned with the risk-based management of corrosion to maintain the safe operation of structures and to minimize the risk of unexpected failures and unplanned closures and outages. The Standard applies to any reinforced concrete structure that is atmospherically exposed including: parking structures, bridges, residential or commercial buildings, and any structures at risk of corrosion development.
The purpose of this standard is to provide the means of detecting pinholes, flaws, or holidays in a coating system that may result in its premature failure, thereby possibly decreasing the life expectancy of the asset. This standard documents the equipment and the process of using electrical current to identify these holidays in a repeatable and realistic manner for both field and shop coating applications.
Asset owners, engineers, consultants, coating contractors, inspectors, and others are specifying allowable levels of surface soluble salts to prevent premature coating failures. The purpose of this standard is to provide guidance about the number of and locations for soluble salt tests on steel surfaces.
This standard establishes siting and frequency requirements for soluble salt testing before the application of a subsequent coating system to previously coated substrates and replacement substrate material. It does not include allowable limits of soluble salts, which are typically addressed by the procurement documents or the coating manufacturer’s documentation.
This standard practice describes appropriate prevention and mitigation measures that can be applied to RC and PC structures that are, or can be, exposed to stray-currents from external sources in order to minimize or eliminate stray-current corrosion. This standard practice addresses only steel corrosion related issues, and does not deal with issues of safety and hazards to people or structures associated with DC and AC voltages; these are covered in national standards and regulations, such as EN 50443 and EN 50122-1.
