    The document describes several common types of corrosion defects found on transmission poles during visual inspections. The defects include galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals used in bolted connections, platform supports, and clamps. Other defects include premature failure of protective coatings, exposed thermal zinc coatings without sealant, and damaged coatings from improper bolt torquing. In total, 13 specific defect types were identified across multiple transmission pole assets.

    Items Overwiew

    1- Bolts under Access Platform


    • On most of assets visited and visually inspected this kind of defect is been noted sugesting
    the presence of “Galvanic Corrosion” due to the use of dissimilar metals (Bolts vs. Platform).

    2- Threaded bolt connections on pedestal


    • This kind of defect is common on every asset visited and visually inspected. The threaded
    bolt connection present rust , sugesting that the plugs used don't suficiently prevent moisture
    ingress in the cavities, hence allowing corrosion to take place.

    • On most of assets visited and visually inspected this kind of defect is been noted sugesting
    the presence of “Galvanic Corrosion” due to the use of dissimilar metals (Bolts vs. Platform).

    4- Bolted connections on gate hinges


    • This kind of defect is common on the assets visited and visually inspected. Defects sugest
    Galvanic Corrosion between hinges connection bolts (stainless steel) and platform brackets
    (carbon steel).

    5- “U” shape Clamps and supporting brackets


    • Few assets have shown the presence of corrosion between “U shape” clamps and external
    Picture Id N° - 5 Picture Id N° - 5 plastic pipe around access platform due to dissimilar metals (“Galvanic Corrosion”)from
    clamps (stainless steel) and supportin brackets(carbon steel).

    6- “U” shape clamps supporting stainless steel pipes under
    Access Platform
    • On all assets visited and visually inspected where there's the presence of stainless steel
    pipe under the Access Platform, this kind of defect is been noted sugesting the presence of
    “Galvanic Corrosion” due to the use of dissimilar metals - “U” clamp(stainless steel) and
    supporting brackets(carbon steel)

    7- Sealing yellow tape


    • This type of defect has been found in a number of assets and in varied locations on the
    TP's such as/ ladder rungs, platform edges, posts,kickplates, etc. The tape is designed to
    Picture Id N° - 7 Picture Id N° - 7 seal the defects from air/moisture temporarily, but with time it fails and its purpose gets
    defiated, been a matter of time for corrosion to take place on those areas.

    • Its been noted that in some assets the valve from fuel tanks present Galvanic Corrosion
    due to dissimilar metals from tank(carbon steel) and valves(stainless steel).

    9- Protective coating premature failure on Fuel Tank


    • Premature failure of protective coating on tanks, specially at the top is present in a number
    of assets visited

    10- Galvanized Fuel Tank frame corroding


    • Corrosion is present on the galvanized fuel tank frame of few assets visited and visually

    • On assets visited and visually inspected where there's CCTV boxes,this kind of defect
    been noted sugesting the presence of “Galvanic Corrosion” due to the use of dissimilar
    metals.

    12- Coat protection damaged due to bolt torquing


    • Coat protection has been damaged, sugesting that bolt torquing was carried out before full
    curing process completion.

    13- Connection between MP/TP with expozed TSZ coating


    • Connection between MP/TP connections presents exposed Thermal Zinc (TSZ). Missing
