Increase the service life of your assets, lower lifecycle costs and improve sustainability
The importance of addressing corrosion cannot be overstated. It significantly impacts the Australian economy, with estimates suggesting it translates to a cost in the order of billions of dollars annually.
Infracorr Consulting specialises in design for durability solutions, helping clients optimise their infrastructure investments and minimise lifecycle costs. We understand that achieving durability is a complex problem. To ensure infrastructure assets meet their design life, particularly in aggressive environments we carefully consider environmental exposure, materials selection, asset end-use, and maintenance requirements.
Our experienced engineers and consultants collaborate across all engineering disciplines – to deliver robust and resilient infrastructure solutions.
Our services
Design for Durability Assessment: We conduct comprehensive assessments to identify potential risks to assets by analysing its environmental exposures, evaluating material options, assessing potential deterioration mechanisms, and understanding the intended use and maintenance requirements.
Durability Modelling: We utilise advanced durability modelling tools to predict the long-term performance of infrastructure assets under various conditions. This allows us to identify potential vulnerabilities and suggest proactive mitigation measures.
Materials Selection: We evaluate and select materials that will be resistant to corrosion, fatigue, abrasion, and other forms of deterioration. Our comprehensive experience in conducting investigations and material testing of existing assets in a variety of environments and service life stages enables us to assess the long-term performance and suitability of materials and products for specific applications.
Corrosion Prevention and Control: We design comprehensive solutions to safeguard infrastructure from deterioration, including proactive corrosion prevention strategies (e.g., protective coatings, cathodic protection, durable materials) and mitigation systems to combat weathering, chemical attack, and environmental stressors.
Inspection and Maintenance Plans: We develop plans detailing inspection and maintenance requirements for the life of your asset, providing a comprehensive understanding of lifecycle costs before construction begins.
Benefits of Design for Durability
Achieve Design Life Requirements: Design for durability solutions are critical to ensure that infrastructure assets meet their intended design life, even in challenging environments.
Extend Asset Lifespan: By proactively addressing potential sources of deterioration, we significantly extend the lifespan of infrastructure assets, limiting maintenance requirements, delaying the need for costly replacements and maximising return on investment.
Reduce Unplanned Maintenance Costs: Our solutions minimise the frequency and cost of maintenance interventions, leading to substantial cost savings over the life of the asset.
Enhance Safety and Reliability: Durable infrastructure assets exhibit superior safety and reliability, reducing the risk of failures and associated disruptions.
Climate Resilience and Sustainability: Design for durability solutions promote sustainable practices by reducing the need for material replacements, minimising environmental impact, and allowing for the selection or specification of sustainable materials that are suitably durable.
