  • 1.  Do You Need a Platform to Speak? We Need Topics!

    Posted 03-26-2024 08:33 AM

    Forefront Innovation Series is a 35-45 minute web series in which speakers are encouraged to present on topics that are new and innovative in various industries. Once a topic and speaker are selected, we advertise on our social media channels and email blasts to gain registrants. 

    We are in search of real-world speakers on corrosion and technical topics! Have an idea for a topic, but don't want to be a speaker? That's ok too! We are looking for topics AND speakers.

    Email me today! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    Hi Danielle,

    I'm a member of the technical staff at EPRI and my team specializes in forensic analysis of power delivery system failures but also health assessments for samples removed from service at high consequence locations. The latter process is costly and labor intensive, so we have developed a inspection solution in the form of a screening technology for transmission, distribution and substations.

    I am interested in speaking at the next AMPP meeting about our research on understanding atmospheric and subgrade corrosion. This presentation is specific to conductor corrosion but will have application to structures, foundations and hardware. We have also developed a process to forecast for climate change geographically, based upon empirical data with a resolution of 15 miles. We then visualize the results in a GIS based mapping system so that asset locations may be queried for a corrective action.

    Please let me know if this is of interest.

    Neal,

    please check out the TCI for Cathodic Protection Interference. We are currently discussing Corrosion caused by  power generation and transmission facilities. We are focusing on solar and wind power generation, but your insight and experience would be extremely valuable.
