After 35 years or longer in service, the concrete infrastructure in wastewater collection systems and treatment plants has deteriorated due to various corrosion and physical degradation mechanisms. This paper reviews the major mechanisms that cause deterioration of concrete and protective coatings. Also, examples of infrastructure degradation are presented along with a discussion of the best diagnostic methods for condition assessment of concrete for the various mechanisms.

In short, this paper tells you where to look for various concrete corrosion and damage mechanisms and how to assess the extent of the damage.
This presentation is designed to assist wastewater treatment plant maintenance superintendents effectively design and implement maintenance painting projects. Recommended practices are described for all project phases, from the initial corrosion survey, through cost estimating, specification preparation, bidding, project administration, field inspection, and OSHA, environmental compliance and plant operation considerations.

Concrete sludge mixing and storage tanks in wastewater treatment plants can be exposed to corrosive environments. Protective linings are the best solution to this problem. But there are a number of design considerations based on this author’s experience that are not readily obvious at the outset.
This presentation briefly updates a two-part article printed in Water Engineering & Management in 2001. It begins with the benefits of waterborne coatings and gives examples of where they may be used.
