Summary

Introduction

While in service, most structural systems such as ships, offshore structures, bridges, industrial plants, land-based structures, and other infrastructure will be subject to age-related deterioration that can potentially cause significant issues in terms of safety, health, the environment, and financial expenditures. Indeed, such age-related deterioration has reportedly been involved in many of the known failures of ships and offshore structures, including total losses. Although the loss of a total system typically causes great concern, repair and maintenance of damaged structures is also very costly to society, in general, and important to the economic viability of the enterprises involved, in particular. It is thus of great importance to develop advanced technologies, which can allow for the proper management and control of such age-related deterioration.

One of the most important factors in the safety and integrity of ship-shaped offshore units at sea is that they are affected by corrosion. Corrosion for such structures becomes a problem particularly where surfaces are unprotected, and this can be an issue for internal surfaces in cargo tanks where conditions of high humidity, and often inspection and access difficulties, also exist.

Periodic surveys can detect corrosion problems and help estimate the remaining thickness of structural components prior to their needing replacement. For high-quality asset management and for the development of optimal maintenance programs, refined strategies for corrosion management and control, including corrosion corrective or preventive measures, are required.
