Cell-to-Cell Surveys for Identifying Active Corrosion on Mortar-Coated Steel Pipes

Cell-to-Cell Surveys for Identifying Active Corrosion on Mortar-Coated Steel Pipes

Corrosion in infrastructure systems, such as steel pipes, significantly threatens their structural integrity and longevity. Detecting and monitoring corrosion promptly is crucial to ensure the safe operation of these infrastructure assets. In the case of mortar-coated steel pipes, corrosion can occur underneath the protective mortar layer, making it challenging to identify without invasive investigative techniques. Cell-to-cell surveys assess the likelihood of active corrosion on mortar-coated pipe materials due to the loss of intimate contact between the steel cylinder and the mortar coating.
