Corrosion in a Modern World

Offshore Wind

By: Simon F. Dunn

Narrated by: Christopher Swift

As humans we probably became aware of "rust" just after our ancestors made their first metals. It's thought we may have begun to control corrosion very soon after that by trying to keep metal away from corrosive environments. Bringing in tools out of the rain and cleaning blood from off your sword would have been early disciplines in the fight against corrosion and its affects. Now that the mechanisms of corrosion are better understood, more techniques have been developed to control its effects and this book will focus on those in offshore wind structures.

This audiobook looks at the challengers facing the offshore wind market and how corrosion mitigation is getting deployed. It's a must-listen for engineers, managers, inspectors, and applicators alike, right across the world and available in 12 languages.

The publication focuses on real world issues affecting the offshore wind industry and how modern techniques are increasing asset life cycles, with well-planned and properly preformed maintenance inspections. It is primarily a guide only and is not intended to be exhaustive nor is it intended for highly knowledgeable corrosion experts. Its primary intention is for asset owners and their representatives, to aid them onsite.

Special effort has been made to be factual and remain impartial as it's hoped this guide can be used and enjoyed by all with a career and interest in offshore renewable energy.
