SELECTING CONCRETE COATINGS FOR THE WATER AND WASTEWATER INDUSTRIES

This paper will explore the various forms of corrosion affecting water infrastructure potable and wastewater systems, categorize the main types, provide examples and explanations for their root causes, and demonstrate their impact on surfaces, whether uncoated or coated with an incompatible technology. Additionally, compatible coating examples will be presented as potential solutions, with additional key performance indicators that may have been overlooked in the decision-making process.
