Researchers determined that up to 30% of those costs – around $83 billion – could be eliminated if established anti-rust and anti-corrosion protocols were implemented. Since then, corrosion remains an intractable problem, but advances in corrosion control have been significant. There are several different industrial coatings with anti-corrosion properties. Many also have other performance qualities making them a good all-around industrial or commercial coatings. It is crucial to match a coating type to the substrate and to the work environment it will applied to. With that in mind, most wo...

EROSION CONTROLS AND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

Type of Drainage Drainage is of two forms Surface drainage and Sub surface drainage or underground drainage. A) Surface drainage (Natural system of drainage): It may consist of open ditches that are laid out by eye judgment, leading from one wet spot to another and finally into a nala or river. This is often called natural system. Open ditch drains:  The pattern of ditches is regular. The method is adopted to land that has uniform slope. Field ditches:  Field ditches for surface drains may be either narrow with nearly vertical sides or V shaped with flat side slopes. V shaped ditches have the advantages of being easier to cross with large machinery. Narrow ditches:  Narrow ditches are most common where large farm machinery is not used. In level areas, a collecting ditch may need to be installed at one side of the field and shallow shaped ditches are constructed to discharge into the collecting ditch. The field ditches should be laid out parallel a...
