Job Title:

Corrosion Student Employee

Location:

Charlotte, NC

Job Summary and Description:

The overhead transmission system comprises materials that are susceptible to subgrade and atmospheric corrosion which degrades their mechanical strength and may result in mechanical failure of the overhead transmission line. To ensure safe and reliable power transmission, it is essential that we understand the impact of corrosion on the durability of line assets. The extent of this corrosion depends on multiple variables such as the materials used, soil chemistry, moisture, and stray currents.

Understanding the corrosion of an overhead transmission line requires an understanding of its surrounding environment and how the conductors, shield wires, hardware and structural components age because of those environmental factors.
