Understanding that corrosion can have a profound impact on maintenance costs, reliability, safety, appearance, and the ultimate service life of physical assets. Corrosion must be carefully considered in all facets of the design, acquisition, construction, and asset-management processes including storing assets for future recommissioning.

Sequencing construction work to ensure corrosion protection systems are installed at the proper stage of construction. For example, some structures or equipment may need protective coatings prior to assembly so that areas that later become inaccessible (e.g. faying surfaces) are properly protected. Also, corrosion protection systems, such as cathodic protection, may need to be installed during a certain stage of construction.NACE Corrosion Process Classification Framework (CMPCF), APQC American Productivity & Quality Center, NACE International Institute

Modify & Edit Criteria and Specifications to Include CPC Requirements

Realize that corrosion has a potential major impact on the safety, reliability, appearance, required maintenance, and ultimate service life of physical assets. Corrosion, and cost-effective methods for its control, should be carefully considered throughout the design process. Applicable industry standards, and any available company “knowledge-based” specifications standards, good practices, or guidelines should be identified and used to guide to the design process.NACE Corrosion Process Classification Framework (CMPCF), APQC American Productivity & Quality Center, NACE International Institute

Discuss CPC During Construction Kickoff
Ensure that CPC is Considered & Survives Design Modifications and Deviations Process
Delineate & Execute Oversight Requirements in Cx, QA, QC Processes
Document CPC Features in As-Built Drawings and eOMSI
Conduct CPC Specific Operator Training
Ensure that Facility Turnover Includes Discussion of CPC Features

Quality control should be Integrating quality control to the construction or manufacturing process and qualified inspections made at critical hold points prior to proceeding to subsequent stages of construction. Quality control and assurance are critically important for corrosion protection systems because the opportunity to access systems for corrective action may be lost or diminished after construction or assembly. In addition, long delivery equipment, especially those of high performance alloy specialty equipment should be identified and considered to ensure no delays to the project schedule. Quality and experience fabricators for specialty equipment should also be identified up front.NACE Corrosion Process Classification Framework (CMPCF), APQC American Productivity & Quality Center, NACE International Institute

Develop CPC Preventative Maintenance Strategy
Conduct Inspection and Data Capture – Include Type and Extent of Corrosion, Component Material, Coating, Warranties, Age, and Maintenance History
Create & Conduct Maintenance Program, Including Regular Inspections
Follow Best Practice CPC Maintenance Planning and Work Scheduling
Ensure that CPC Management Supports Operations and Mission

Recognize an overlap between corrosion protection and appearance standards for an asset. Protective coatings, for example, are often the single most observable attribute affecting the visible and apparent condition of an asset. Assets with deteriorated coating systems may appear questionable and poorly maintained, regardless of the extent of corrosion. Standards defining acceptable conditions related to corrosion need to consider this issue. This also helps determine life cycle costs of equipment and provides justification for purchasing more reliable and probably more expensive equipment, making design changes and possibly process changes, too.NACE Corrosion Process Classification Framework (CMPCF), APQC American Productivity & Quality Center, NACE International Institute
