Roadways, Bridges, Bridge Decks, Railroads Everyday the United States Transportation System grows older, and the maintenance problems become more numerous. CCC can help highway departments, and railway systems with their corrosion issues. Highway systems are suffering from concrete and rebar corrosion, bridge deck failures, and foundation deterioration. Railways are having the same problems with the bridge tussles, support structures, and stray current corrosion from electric railways. CCC is an expert in dealing with concrete rebar corrosion and its mitigation. CCC can make recommendations and help solve existing problems from years of damage caused by pollution, salt, and marine environments. CCC understands the various ways of using concrete inhibitors, high density concrete, proper concrete coverage, lashing of rebar, cathodic protection of the bridge deck, monitoring of corrosion situations, various coating systems both protective and active anodic. Photo below: CCC Workers doing one of the very first Cable Stayed Bridge Corrosion Inspections in the world. This one at over 450 feet on the Florida Skyway Bridge in Tampa, Florida. The world’s tallest single cable stayed bridge at that time. With bridges in California being abandoned due to concrete corrosion, can many states afford California’s solution? Many new bridges are now being constructed in the United States with little or no modern protection from the inevitable rebar corrosion that will fail them not long after the construction guarantees end. CCC can help you to not make that mistake. Railroads and particularly electric railroads have their own unique corrosion problems. Electric rail systems can even create corrosion problems on paralleling utilities: especially pipelines & electric cables. The reverse can also be true. How much damage has your railroad endured due to improperly installed cathodic protection on paralleling gas lines, oil lines, and underground electric utilities. The liability for damages can go into the millions of dollars. It takes an expert to know what he’s actually seeing on site. An expert is necessary to properly test, quantify the problem, and even repair the damages. Call Columbia Corrosion Control for help with your transportation corrosion problems.
