Pipeline Corrosion Engineering & Design Solutions

Pipeline Infrastructure Built to Last

Water and sewer lines normally require constant maintenance. The longer a pipe remains buried, the more like the surrounding environment will act on it to corrode the material. This is a natural process that impacts all metal pipelines.

Azuria’s corrosion protection services utilize advanced electrochemical engineering strategies to protect pipelines from likely corrosion damage.

Corrosion protection involves running a DC current through a sacrificial metal node (known as an anode). The current changes the meta targeted for protection into the cathode of an electrochemical cell. The result is chemical reactions are encouraged to target the sacrificial anode first, leaving the pipe relatively unscathed.

With proper monitoring, Azuria’s corrosion protection services can add decades to the life of a pipeline, all while decreasing the costs of maintenance and repairs from leaks and breakages.

From Design to Implementation

Azuria offers complete corrosion prevention project solutions. We gather, analyze, and present data findings, then budget, plan, and implement corrosion protection systems to extend the life and function of your pipes.

The corrosion engineering and design process includes three crucial steps:

1. Data collection
2. Analysis and planning
3. Solution implementation

Data Collection

Azuria engineers kick off the process with surveys and evaluation of current site infrastructure, or the site if no infrastructure is present. The data collected is key to understanding the current state of existing infrastructure, or what sort of environment new infrastructure is likely to be subjected to.

Studies conducted include:

• Corrosion and erosion studies
• Environmental impact studies
• Soil testing
• Current condition assessments
• Electrical grounding studies
• Stray current analyses

Once all field tests have been conducted, our engineers will analyze the data and design the perfect corrosion protection solution for your project needs.

Data Analysis and Planning

Field test data is collated by Azuria engineers and analyze to determine the optimal conditions to prevent corrosion of planned or existing pipe infrastructure. First, a proper material is selected that complements soil conditions and latent electrical currents. Then, the proper anode is chosen to direct corrosion away from the target metal. The correct voltage is chosen, and monitoring systems are planned to ensure the system continues to function over time. Economic analysis and budget constraints are used to plan the most cost-effective corrosion prevention system. The designs for the project are then reviewed.

Solution Implementation and Monitoring

After designing your corrosion prevention system, Azuria engineers oversee its construction, ensuring everything is implemented to specification. Azuria can also provide welding consultation to make sure pipelines are securely fitted and the entire system is built within project parameters.

After building your corrosion protection system, Azuria can provide monitoring and data management services to ensure the system operates optimally. New advances in monitoring technology allow advanced warning should the system fail so that repairs can be promptly executed prior to corrosion setting in.

We provide integrity and risk assessments through our asset integrity management services. These include frequent program evaluations to ensure everything is running to spec.

Finally, we can provide personnel training to allow you to monitor, analyze, and correct your corrosion protection system.

Industries We Serve

Aviation

Azuria’s corrosion prevention services help keep water and sewer lines near airports in working order by extending their lifespan. The reduced need for maintenance leads to fewer disruptions in airport traffic for repairs.

Transportation

Trains and trucks are a crucial part of our national economy. Railways and highways are the arteries through which most of our commerce flows. Corrosion protection keeps pipelines near transportation infrastructure from corroding and flooding key thoroughfares.

Industrial

Water and sewer line corrosion near production facilities across the United States is a major concern. Aging infrastructure has the potential to cost companies millions of dollars in lost revenue from production delays to fix breaks and leaks. Protect your profits with corrosion protection from Azuria.

Municipal

Aging infrastructure costs local municipalities millions each year to repair. Cities and towns with limited budgets are struggling to keep up with maintenance demands, allowing infrastructure to fail. Systems designed with corrosion protection reduce the need for constant maintenance, decreasing total costs for municipalities.

Department of Defense

Azuria has created several corrosion protection systems for the Department of Defense to supplement military infrastructure. Corrosion protection helps pipelines last longer, reducing the amount of time and money the government spends on maintenance and repairs.
