corrosion
The Corrosion Technical Committee focuses on industry challenges related to internal and external corrosion prevention and mitigation, as well as stress corrosion susceptibility evaluation and repair. As one of the oldest focus areas in PRCI and with strong ties to DMC, I&I and SOM, the importance of corrosion is reflected in nearly a quarter of all PRCI documents.

“As measured by projects in-flight, 2023 was a busy and productive year for the Corrosion TC. Although challenged by structural changes at PRCI and the departure of two extremely active vice-chairs in 2023, our focus on project execution and maximizing the value and productivity of in-person meetings was effectively maintained. The Corrosion TC is also pleased that some of the procedural tools and strategies we developed over the past few years were adopted by another TC in 2023. Imitation, so they say, is the highest form of flattery.
The Corrosion TC continues to struggle with the dichotomy created when the need for creative solutions to immediate problems (AKA 'timely research') collides with the need for ever greater financial and procedural stability that is expected of a multi-million dollar organization. So long as these conflicting imperatives are afforded equal priority (as advocated by our TC), improvements will be achieved in both.
Finally, we are pleased that the Corrosion TC was able to help secure a number of unscheduled projects brought forth through PHMSA. The utilization of public funding on PRCI projects further amplifies the return on investment made by our member companies.
