Steel sheet piles are at risk of corrosion when installed in corrosive soils or an aggressive marine environment. The service life of new and existing sheet pile can be modeled based on steel thickness measurements and estimated corrosion rates. Potential strategies to extend the life of sheet piling are increased sacrificial steel thickness, organic barrier coatings, impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) and galvanic cathodic protection (GCP). Vector Corrosion Services provides corrosion consulting services to aid engineers in the selection and design of cost effective corrosion control approach for steel sheet piles and other structures subject to corrosion damage.
