Post-tensioning (PT) tendons have long been the backbone of durable concrete design. But as these structures age, hidden dangers like grout deficiencies—voids, chloride contamination, and water intrusion—can lead to severe corrosion and even tendon failure. Our latest article delves into the techniques for identifying these issues and discusses effective mitigation strategies. Discover how the James B. Edwards Bridge in Charleston, SC, faced these challenges head-on, using proactive evaluation and a comprehensive repair plan to safeguard this critical transportation asset. 🔍 Want the full story?

Solving AUDI's Carpark Corrosion Challenge in Neckarsulm, Germany AUDI's multi-story carpark in Neckarsulm faced serious corrosion issues around the perimeter of the reinforced concrete deck. Our team at Vector Corrosion Technologies, in collaboration with Protector KKS GmbH, provided a targeted solution. Our Approach: - Installed Galvashield® CC2 anodes for focused corrosion protection. - Applied a durable, waterproof coating. - Replaced drainage channels to prevent future damage. The Result: Within a year, we achieved significant polarization of the reinforcing steel, ensuring long-term protection for the structure. From North America to projects across the globe, we're proud to protect and extend the life of critical infrastructure worldwide.

Why Does Corrosion Happen?

How Do We Stop Corrosion in Concrete? There are numerous methods available to combat corrosion, ranging from treating the affected area to reduce deterioration, to partial removal and replacement of corroded sections. However, when it comes to protecting corroding structures, cathodic protection stands out as one of the most effective options. At Vector, we provide several different cathodic protection solutions to prevent corrosion in concrete structures. These include, 1. Galvashield® embedded 2. Surface-mounted galvanic anodes 3. Two-stage Fusion® anodes and impressed current (ICCP). Visit our website to view our range of corrosion control technologies and find the best solution for your concrete corrosion problems. https://lnkd.in/g8XAfjBR . . David Whitmore J.

What Can We Do to Mitigate/Prevent Corrosion? Cathodic protection (CP) is a method of corrosion control that applies a direct current to a metal under protection, forcing it to become a cathode. Here are two key types of CP: 1. Galvanic CP: This method involves connecting a more reactive metal, like zinc, to steel reinforcement (rebar). The reactive metal corrodes in place of the steel, protecting it from rust and deterioration. 2. Impressed Current CP: This technique uses an external power source to deliver a precise direct current to the steel, ensuring long-term protection against corrosion. Additionally, electrochemical treatments such as chloride extraction and realkalization are temporary methods similar to impressed current CP. These are applied to address the root causes of corrosion, leaving the concrete in a passive state once completed. Stay ahead of corrosion with the right Cathodic Protection strategy! www.vector-corrosion.com #CorrosionControl #CathodicProtection #StructuralIntegrity #EngineeringInnovations
