Piping Design

Major changes in the way building piping systems are engineered and constructed are resulting in their advanced deterioration. Also contributing to lower service life is the far lower quality and greater corrosion susceptibility of almost all pipe manufactured today.

Such issues easily explain the far longer service life provided by older piping systems and the accelerated failures documented at new properties barely 5 years old.

This area of our Internet site addresses some of the underlying issues to why no one should expect to ever see the service life for piping systems once guaranteed.

Problems
Many different forms of corrosion exist, and present different levels of threat for different building properties
Consequences
Results can range from small pinhole leaks to catastrophic failures and million dollar damages
Solutions
The favored approach is to prevent the corrosion problem from ever occurring, yet corrective actions are often available
