Cracking the code of corrosion in concrete
– Advances in maintenance, durability and corrosion protection

Corrosion of reinforcement in concrete is one of the greatest threats to the longevity of infrastructure worldwide. How can we accurately assess corrosion risks, predict service life, and extend the durability of structures?
This technical seminar day explores corrosion effects of concrete durability, maintenance, lifetime prediction, guidelines, cathodic protection, measurement techniques, the impact of chloride ingress, splash zone effects and the role of modern concrete formulations in protecting reinforcement.
Learn from industry experts revealing latest insights into corrosion mechanisms and innovative strategies to safeguard structures such as marine facilities, bridges, balconies, swimming pools, parking garages and general construction projects for the future.
