Aging transmission and distribution systems are at increasing risk of damage due to corrosion and metal loss as they are near the end of their design life.  As a result, power outages can result from damage to the grid, increasing the costs for repair or replacement due to this corrosion. What if you can stop or minimize this corrosion?

Using case studies and project experience, this course will discuss the fundamentals of the science behind various types of transmission and distribution corrosion and how to minimize and prevent it from occurring. 

Attend this essential course to gain important information on corrosion of transmission and distribution systems. Special discounts apply for groups of five or more, starting at 20% off!
