which is the best coating to avoid corrosion in electric towers?

[AgustinSoto]

Hi there,

Im working in an important electric transmission company in South América.

We are actually having some corrosion issues in our electric towers in C5-I and C5-M zones, and i am looking for the best coatings in order to prevent the corrosion and to reduce the maintenance of the towers as much as we can.

C5-I: Very High - Industry: Industrial areas with high humidity and aggressive atmosphere
C5-M: Very High - Marine: Coastal and offshore areas with high salinity

Which coatings do you recomend to protect transmision towers exposed to those conditions?

Thanks!

When I was working for a local utility we used either epoxy or hot dip galvanized coating systems.

Hello everybody:

In the document take a look to numerals 2.1.7 thru 2.1.10 on pages 6 and 7, and numeral 2.4 on page 8. I hope it can help you.

When referencing to C5 corrosion category, does it mean that you are using european codes (EN ISO 12944-2) ?
Do you also use EN1090, and/or EN ISO 1461 ?
If not, they may be helpful in your case.
