Corrosion Monitoring

Reinforced concrete will invariably be subject to a corrosion process that ultimately leads to a total failure of the structure. In the first stage, aggressive elements such as chloride or carbon dioxide penetrate into the structure. On reaching the rebars, high concentrations of these aggressive elements attack the passive layer of hydrated iron oxide that protects the rebar against corrosion. Rust begins to form which eventually leads to structural failure. Early diagnosis and monitoring of seemingly healthy concrete cover and reinforcement status allows pre-emptive corrosion control measures to reduce unwanted risks to structural safety and people.

The Canin⁺ is an instrument for corrosion monitoring allowing rapid, comprehensive tests of the site and provides a fast assessment of locations where corrosion is likely to take place before the rust becomes visible. This corrosion monitoring allows the user to reduce the costs of corrective maintenance significantly.
