Precast concrete pipe, manholes and tanks offer exceptional durability in sanitary sewer infrastructure. One threat that can exist in specific conditions is microbially induced concrete corrosion. NPCA has conducted extensive studies and helped develop standards for this specific mechanism. ASTM has recently developed and released three standards related to MICC. One is a guide while the other two contain test methods that can be used to indicate antimicrobial admixture or concrete resistance to simulated MICC conditions. During this webinar, part of NPCA’s Specifier series, we will explore those standards in detail to demonstrate how they may help in mitigating MICC. We will also discuss mitigation strategies in design that can reduce the likelihood of MICC.
