Since 2005, David Aimal Kashifi has served as a senior corrosion engineer for Corrosion Protection Solutions in Danville, California. David Aimal Kashifi specializes in creating corrosion control and cathodic protection solutions to extend the life of metal infrastructure.
Naturally occurring electrochemical reactions lead to corrosion, but modern technology can mitigate the corrosion and material loss that afflicts the country’s infrastructure. According to Corrosion Protection Solutions, government studies show that corrosion is associated with more than $400 billion in annual infrastructure costs just in the United States.
Corrosion control projects offer a variety of benefits, including preserving the functionality of important storage tanks, pipes, and other metal structures. In addition to preventing the failure of these structures, corrosion control promotes public safety, as deteriorated infrastructure can be dangerous and cause hazardous materials, such as gases and liquids, to pollute the environment. Corrosion Protection Solutions notes that maintaining corrosion control systems is vastly more cost effective than replacing unsafe structures.
