Advances In Digital Twin And AI To Predict And Manage External Corrosion - A Smart Tool For Decision Makers

Product Number: 51322-17991-SG

Author: Otavio Correa, Jorge Seleme Mariano

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The Brazilian cost of corrosion was estimated at 3% of the GPD in 2018, that percentage is equivalent to approximately $US 49 billion, according to an ABRACO⁽¹⁾ journal released in 2020.¹ It is estimated that from this cost $US 19 billion could have been saved through anticorrosive actions. In another research conducted by the EPRI⁽²⁾ the results showed that at least 22% of corrosion costs could be avoided through adequate mitigating actions.²

Building Success Through Quality Documentation

Product Number: 51219-213-SG

Author: Justin Rigby

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The best Clients know what they want and provide Contractors with clear guidelines or specifications. Then the Contractor knows what is required however disconnect often occurs between management and field staff when meeting the specification objectives. Management want to impress the Client and submit detailed quality report forms which need to be completed by field staff however often the forms supplied are not aligned to the daily activities and are seen as not being relevant to the field staff.

Concern For The Future Of OUR Workforce

Product Number: 51218-128-SG

Author: Nick Kuntz

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Construction labor experts are becoming overwhelmingly concerned that we will not have the workforce to maintain, let alone rebuild, our country’s infrastructure. Projections for Project Management and Skilled Labor tell us the issue is worsening by the day with no solution on the horizon. Confidence in employee and employer accountability is at an all time low. The painting and coating industry is both safety sensitive and labor intensive. This risk is unique, in that it touches every aspect of your company, starting with employee safety.

Corrosion Monitoring System in the Port of Miami Tunnel

Product Number: 51324-21171-SG

Author: Adrian Steele; Samanbar Permeh; Kingsley Lau

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

The design of the PortMiami Tunnel (PMT) utilizes segmental reinforced concrete lining panels. Early corrosion initiation is expected to be mitigated by the specification of low permeability ternary-blend concrete and minimum three-inch clear cover, but there is uncertainty in the long-term corrosion and materials durability (particularly considering its ambitious 150 year design life) and uncertainty of the extent of possible loss of concrete integrity of the structure at extended times. Therefore, interest lies in continual long term corrosion monitoring of the tunnel panels. The objectives of this testing program are to provide information on the panels that may indicate possible early corrosion development in key areas of the tunnel and to provide field data to supplement laboratory testing to provide recommendations for best practices addressing corrosion prevention and mitigation for submerged structures. The findings from corrosion monitoring for over 10 years of service are presented.

Maintenance for Document Number

Product Number: MPWT19-15250

Author: Mohammed A. Alkhalid

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

This paper will explore the process of conducting asset integrity management systems and the potential use for the existing facility data to analyze integrity status and predict any breach of integrity that would cause a direct major incident. In the dawn of the 4th industrial revolution and in the age of automation and artificial intelligence, asset integrity management systems are being integrated into a more sophisticated process of verification. Programs are being used to collect necessary risk-based data from inspection, maintenance programs and operational checklists in order to rationalize the integrity status and alert proponents of possible breach of integrity. These systems are more efficient than humans in predicting possible failures based on collective data from several critical elements from a facility and calculate the probability of failure based on the current integrity status. It is possible to optimize such systems to eliminate the human error factor and optimize inspection, maintenance and operation programs to better manage asset integrity. The result would be a software that would provide an overview of the plant’s integrity status and provide early alerts of any incoming incident event which allows the facility’s management to act accordingly and direct resources for effective prevention and mitigation.

Root Cause and Forward Thinking Decisions

Product Number: 41215-928-SG

Author: Doug Sawyer

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

We often make decisions in haste, using poor factoring, not thinking through all the variables, ignoring risk, and a great number of other things we won’t mention right now but you can imagine. What decisions or effort do we do daily that could be enhanced by better decisions, and by default better process. A decision is made up of pieces, each piece providing a building block to the end. What pieces we use make a difference.
