Challenges:
- The conveyance line was exposed to desalinated water and mixed waste/stormwater.
- Failures occurred due to MIC (Bacterial attack) – this risk was not accounted for in design or corrosion protection strategy.
- The water treatment program in place was not able to effectively identify, control and monitor corrosion risks.
ICE Impact:
- ICE team identified the corrosion risks through inspection and analysis of operational/maintenance data.
- A modified water treatment plan was developed with improved corrosion inspection and monitoring to prevent future failures.
