Steel columns in aggressive environments
Steel columns in aggressive environments
(OP)
Dear all,
Could one of you help me to solve the following problem?
There are some steel columns (existing) sitting in a high acidic environment. Acids can attack the bottom part of the column that might lead to severe corrosion. I do not want to encase the column with concrete as fixing condition can change.
What is the best way to protect these steel columns?
Thanks,
Clefcon

For protection of structural steel column bases we normally used a Coal Tar Epoxy. One in particular was Bitumastic from Carboline. There are several manufacturers of these coatings.
