Savcor Products Australia launch new compact and innovative galvanic anodes for concrete structures.

By SPA | December 24, 2019 |

Concrete repair in chloride contaminated structures causes incipient anode formation and results in reinforcement corrosion and concrete spalling at the border of repair areas. Performing the repair work using high resistivity concrete and installing galvanic anodes in the parent concrete at the edge of the repair patch can ensure targeted current delivery to the high-risk…

Conditions that Cause Machinery to Corrode

By savcorproducts | August 26, 2019 |

Corrosion is a complex process which results in the deterioration of various metals due to reactions with other metals and the environment. There are a number of factors which contribute to corrosion in the parts and components of heavy-use machinery, vehicles and equipment. These factors include: Abrasion Fatigue (wear and tear) Adhesion Electrical discharges Material…

Safeguarding Against Corrosion

By SPA | July 8, 2019 |

Corrosion is one of the biggest issues faced by industries, businesses and governments in Australia, costing our economy over $30 billion each year, according to a report published by Curtin University. Infrastructure, machinery and equipment affected by corrosion require ongoing maintenance and management to ensure safety, productivity and longevity. While there is a wide range…

New patented innovation: SPA discrete anode

By SPA | May 17, 2016 |

SPA 26 plus & SPA 18 plus Discrete anodes in concrete have been used extensively in reinforced concrete structures especially for concrete elements located in tidal and splash zones. Due to their encapsulation within the concrete, discrete anodes eliminate the risk of grout acidification resultant from sea water in splash zones. These anodes are proven…

Vapour Phase Corrosion Emitters

Vapour Phase Corrosion Emitters Explained…

By SPA | November 18, 2015 |

Vapour phase corrosion emitters are small, specialised devices designed to provide corrosion protection for metal components and parts which are enclosed in non-ventilated control boxes. The Vapour phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VpCI) emits vapours that form a monomolecular protective coating on internal metal surfaces. This coating protects critical, complex and expensive electronic equipment from corrosion initiation…

SPA Offers a New Generation in CP Power Supply Units

By SPA | November 17, 2015 |

SPA has developed a power supply unit for cathodic protection (CP) systems which is simple to operate, has web connectivity and is designed with thorough long term durability and reliability in mind. Importantly, it does not rely on any proprietary components, and this addresses one of the primary shortcomings of various proprietary power supply units which have been incorporated in CP systems in Australia.

Borin Stelth 2 Reliable reference electrodes in concrete and soil

By SPA | October 13, 2015 |

One of the most important aspects of cathodic protection installations is achieving accurate monitoring and minimal maintenance of the CP components embedded in the concrete and soil. Reliable reference electrodes are essential for accurate monitoring and the adjustment of the CP system, leading to optimum protection of the structure.

Casing spacer

APS Casing Spacers

By SPA | October 13, 2015 |

Stainless steel, carbon steel and polyethylene casing spacers from Advance Products and Systems are the first choice in ensuring the integrity of a carrier pipe when installed in casing. When comparing wood skids to casing spacers, we find that wood skids’ liability is higher.
