Civil structures housing operational units, piping, equipment, pumps etc in Oil, Gas, Petrochemical, Chemical, Fertilizer Agrochemical and allied Industries, often face aggressively corrosive chemicals, solvents, hydro-carbons etc to which concrete and steel can not resistant. It becomes a significant challenge to ensure sound and strong parameters of cementatious and steel structures in these industries.

The actions in this direction begin with protecting them from getting affected with the corrosive attack of the chemicals and other contaminants. Tailor made treatments to protect the structures from each contaminant or combination of contaminants with different damage potential, are to be selected and applied so that their structural health is maintained and they don’t deteriorate when exposed to corrosive chemicals. This is extremely important because one failure in protection treatment, can allow corrosive chemical to penetrate the pump foundation making the pump to develop vibrate, calling for stopping the pump and hence the production loss!

Even after the care taken to protect the structure; if it develops structural damage, it becomes mandatory to identify the root cause of damage identifying the chemical which caused the damage and then its structural rehabilitation method is to be designed and executed with that base. NDT of damaged structure helps in designing the structural rehabilitation scheme.

As a post treatment action, protecting the rehabilitated surface should not be missed out to ensure that rehabilitated structure performs its desired functional life.
