Research output: Book/Report › Report › Professional

Abstract

Harbour infrastructures, civil engineering structures and offshore structures are exposed to a very aggressive maritime environment. The local corrosion mechanism bio-corrosion or microbial influenced corrosion (MIC) seems to be the life determining failure mechanism for these structures. There is a need for durable solutions to protect and maintain these structures. Different corrosion protection methods and systems are commercially available but each application requires a specific protection system. The optimal solution is not available yet
