Corroding infrastructure is costing the South African economy around 5% of GNP. Corrosion costs can be cut up by 25% if proper inspections are carried out by industries, according to Vanessa Sealy-Fisher (seen here), president of the Corrosion Institute of Southern Africa (CorrlSA).

The Institute is hosting a three-day course that will cover the latest recommended practice for detecting, identifying and preventing in-service damage mechanisms. The course runs alongside the Oil & Gas Expo and Conference, taking place at the Cape Town ICC from 13-15 March.
