Mott MacDonald to Lead ALWC Effort
Mott MacDonald is to act as lead partner for a research and development project supported by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in the UK which it is hoped will produce a cost effective treatment for Accelerated Low Water Corrosion (ALWC). The project, Enhancing the performance of pulsed current applied coatings in corrosive environments, will see Mott MacDonald and its partners develop a novel treatment for ALWC, the process of enhanced corrosion of steel in seawater which currently costs the maritime industry millions of pounds, causing particular damage to structures such as steel pilings.
