Rust Never Sleeps: Corrosion Control for RTD
Rust Never Sleeps: Corrosion Control for RTD Stopping corrosion in its tracks. Denver RTD is building a 19.2-mile double track extension to an existing light rail transit (LRT) system which will add an additional 13 passenger stations to the system. Corrosion control is an important part of the plan because it is much cheaper to prevent corrosion than to have to perform frequent maintenance on rapidly corroding infrastructure. LTK’s corrosion control experts provided the full set of corrosion control engineering services from developing design criteria, reviewing cathodic protection design for more than 52 water and 17 sewer pipelines andcommenting on electrical isolation requirements in the Trackwork design to designing stray current monitoring and mitigation for a 20 inch, high-pressure
