Maintaining the integrity of both mechanical assets and civil infrastructure is critical in the process industries. Often the primary concern for industry operators is the performance of their mechanical systems, while maintenance of the underlying civil infrastructure is deprioritized. By utilizing a comprehensive assessment and repair approach which integrates operational concerns, mechanical maintenance, structural integrity, and desired service life, a more holistic repair approach can be developed to address both typical and atypical distress.

In this webinar, structural engineer Katelyn Low and mechanical engineer Scott Bouse discuss common causes of deterioration in process industry assets and the advantages of multidisciplinary assessment and repair approaches. Through case studies, they address typical challenges with repairs and strategies to extend the service life of your assets.

By the end of the webinar, you will be able to:

  • Identify common causes of deterioration in process industry structures
  • Explain how assessments can limit operational challenges with repairs
  • Describe the challenges associated with structural repairs to large mechanical components
  • Summarize repair approaches that are both effective and cost-conscious
