: : News - Corrosion Study
LMI and R&K were recently awarded a contract to study the effects of corrosion on DoD equipment and facilities.
Because of its innovative work on the cost implications of corrosion on the DoD facility inventory, R&K Engineering was
asked to team with LMI on a larger study of the impacts of corrosion on DoD equipment and facilities. The Department
of Defense has developed and is implementing a long-term strategy to reduce corrosion and the effects of corrosion on
the Departments’ military equipment and infrastructure. The Department has established a fully functioning corrosion
policy and oversight organization. It has established multiple Service corrosion prevention and control integrated
product teams, and institutionalized corrosion prevention and mitigation as a key component in the planning process. The
LMI-R&K Team is measuring the annual cost of corrosion impact to DoD equipment and facilities. R&K’s work will be to
facilitate the collection and measurement of the cost impact of corrosion on DoD facilities and infrastructure.
