Corrosion Protection for Military Construction in the Middle East

Abstract

Preliminary Information is given for corrosion mitigation techniques that can be applied to U.S. Army construction in the Middle East. The environment in these countries is unique--desert sands, high winds, and warm, salt-laden air from the surrounding sea--allowing even the most durable materials to corrode. The current Saudi Oriented Guide Specifications were utilized as a basis from which recommendations were made to extend facility lifetime through application of state-of-the-art corrosion mitigation techniques. Contents: Environmental Conditions; Sitework; Concrete and Metals; Thermal and Moisture Protection; Doors and Windows; Finishes; Specialties; Equipment; Special Construction; Mechanical; and Electrical.
