Service-life Evaluation Presented by Gregory Fehr, P.E., NACE Properly evaluating the condition of buildings, bridges, towers, amusement rides, people movers, pressure vessels, pipes, valves, pumps, entertainment stage structures, window washer roof anchor systems – virtually anything made of metal – can be a major safety issue. In addition, knowledge of the condition of the item aids in effective preventive maintenance, and in catching structural dangers before failure. The course is not only applicable to the inspection function, but can be used to improve designs. It presents information not normally taught in school or presented in codes and standards. It is therefore applicable to architects, engineers, inspectors, designers, facilities maintenance, and operations personnel. The program includes information on properties of materials, how fabrication processes affect them, how service loads, fire, and corrosion can initiate failures, where to look for dangerous conditions, and how to look for them. Mechanical testing, nondestructive testing, and visual inspection techniques are presented. The focus is on service life evaluation rather than new construction inspection; details of repairing by welding are included. Successful completion of the program provides an understanding of the causes of service-life deterioration, the progression of initial defects to dangerous proportions, where the distress normally occurs, and how to look for such distress.
