Track: Renewables
The session will highlight the challenges posed by corrosion when solar facilities are located near existing buried metallic structures, such as pipelines. Presentations will provide information on the newest corrosion protection technologies, maintenance strategies, and best practices for extending the service life of these assets. Difficulties solar farm developers face when designing support structures—whether galvanized, bare, or coated piles—due to the uncertainties surrounding soil corrosion rates will be highlighted.
