Coastal environments present unique challenges when it comes to dealing with corrosion. The combination of saltwater, high humidity, and constant exposure to the elements creates an environment highly corrosive to metals. As a result, structures and equipment in coastal areas are particularly susceptible to degradation and deterioration.In this blog, we will look at the problems […]
The effects of ultraviolet rays on steel are an important consideration for a steel water tower’s design, construction, and maintenance. Ultraviolet radiation from sunlight is absorbed by the steel surface causing increased oxidation that can lead to corrosion.When exposed to Ultraviolet (UV) rays, steel oxidizes quickly, resulting in rusting and weakening of the metal substrate—a […]
