When performing emergency maintenance and repair regarding corrosion under insulation in oil and gas facilities, what is the potential cost of shutting down equipment?

In a recent study, researchers from UGA suggested a new way to prioritize bridge maintenance by looking at time-dependent element interactions, also known as coactiveness. While bridges have an average 75-year lifespan, the researchers claimed that by employing their maintenance method, the infrastructure lifespan could be extended beyond 100 years. Do you foresee the method being adopted by DOTs or other associations such as the FHWA or ARTA?

Researchers from Michigan State University plan to add more data-tracking sensors to the Mackinac Bridge. With progression of the prototypes since 2016, do you think this kind of technology will make its way to assist the preservation/management of other bridge structures?

What is the correct procedure for carrying out preventive maintenance painting work in a small chemical product tank?

What criteria should an owner use to determine whether to specify full removal or spot- or zone-repair on a maintenance project?
