A recently released two-year breakthrough
study estimates the annual direct cost of corrosion in the United States to
be $276 billion. While this is a sizeable number,
larger than many of the world's economies, it has been estimated that 25-30%
of the total, or $70-80 billion, could be saved by using state-of-the-art
corrosion management practices. In addition to the cost savings, corrosion
can result in public and industrial safety issues.
CC Technologies (Dublin, Ohio) conducted the research in a cooperative effort
with the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA). NACE
International - The Corrosion Society worked with Congressional representatives
to secure $1 million in federal funding for the study.
The study identified the direct cost of corrosion in five major sectors of the economy - infrastructure, utilities, transportation, production & manufacturing, and government.

What to do when a metal roof begins to
leak or rust .
. .
Call a licensed roofing consultant, architect or contractor ( ie. Roofing
Contractors Association of BC www.rcabc.org ) and ask for a roof survey.
( An Eagle Specialized Coatings Consultant will do this at no charge )
Determine exactly what the problems are.
Develop a repair or replacement strategy that not only solves today's problems
but one that is also compatible with a long term maintenance plan.
