Sherwin-Williams Corrosion Assessment Program for Water Infrastructure: Maximizing Asset Lifespan and Minimizing Costs

Our Water Infrastructure Corrosion Assessment Program

Sherwin-Williams provides a comprehensive corrosion assessment program through our tailored to water infrastructure Asset Protection Managers, helping plant owners, engineers and specialists identify current and potential risks of corrosion within their facilities. This program is not only designed to prevent unnecessary degradation of your assets but also to plan for long-term, cost-effective solutions. By accurately assessing the condition of each asset, the program allows you to make informed decisions, effectively allocate resources and avoid unexpected maintenance costs.

A Proactive Approach to Water Infrastructure Asset Protection

The first step in this process involves identifying and organizing your assets based on their location within the plant, with detailed notes on each asset’s condition. Using a combination of data collection, historical information and photographs, your Asset Protection Manager (APM) provides a thorough evaluation of your infrastructure, pinpointing areas that are most susceptible to corrosion. This assessment includes a prioritization process based on factors such as the severity of corrosion, environmental exposure and the critical nature of the asset within your overall system.

Once the assessment is complete, your APM provides detailed reports that break down the condition of each asset, assign a maintenance priority and outline the associated costs and budget recommendations. This clear, structured approach not only helps you understand the status of your infrastructure but also gives you a roadmap to plan for future maintenance and coatings. The goal is to prevent corrosion from becoming a reactive, expensive issue and instead incorporate preventative measures that will significantly extend the lifespan of your assets.

Reducing Long-Term Water Infrastructure Costs with Strategic Planning

One of the key benefits of this corrosion assessment program is its focus on reducing long-term costs. Rather than constantly reacting to unexpected maintenance needs, the program encourages scheduled updates and planned interventions. Reports are regularly updated, either annually or upon project completion, to ensure that your asset protection strategy evolves with the changing conditions within your facility. This ongoing evaluation helps track the effectiveness of previous interventions and ensures that your infrastructure is consistently maintained in peak condition.

By taking a long-term view of asset protection, your APM can help you reduce the overall costs associated with maintenance and repairs. The program also considers the lifecycle of each asset, offering recommendations for coatings and maintenance schedules that align with the specific goals of your facility. The result is a streamlined, cost-efficient plan that not only protects your assets but also maximizes the effectiveness of your budget.

Flexible, Multi-Year Corrosion Assessment Program for Effective Water Infrastructure Budgeting

Another major advantage of this corrosion assessment program is its flexibility. Sherwin-Williams offers multi-year planning options that allow for a more strategic approach to budgeting and resource allocation. By breaking down your maintenance and coating plans into manageable phases, you can effectively spread costs over time, reducing financial strain while ensuring that your assets remain protected throughout their entire lifecycle.
