Potash Mine-Early Stage Design:
Corrosion design and early-stage ICE Flow corrosion risk management: Proactive client realized the severe corrosion risk for this project and engaged ICE to review the design for durability and provide Asset Integrity program design for operations.
Challenges:
- Mining salts high in Cl
- High corrosion rates expected
- Long design life 70 years
ICE Impact:
- Created overarching corrosion / durability strategy for project
- Asset by asset corrosion risk assessment and design of resilient solutions (concrete, steel, mechanical equipment, piping, electrical, architectural, civil)
- Coating specifications and QA/QC guidance
- Early development of inspections, processes, data collection and models to allow predictive maintenance capabilities
- Input into op readiness and maintenance plans
