MATERIALS PERFORMANCE IN SAN DIEGO'S SEWERS

RESULTS OF AN EXAMINATION OF THE MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION METHODS OF THE SAN DIEGO METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE SYSTEM UNDER CORROSIVE OPERATING CONDITIONS ARE PRESENTED. THE SYSTEM IS DESCRIBED AND GENERAL CORROSION PROBLEMS (INCLUDING DETERIORATION OF MAN-HOLE AND ACCESS STRUCTURES, A TUNNEL LINED WITH POLYVINYL CHLORIDE, AND SACRIFICIAL MATERIAL ON PIPING) ARE DISCUSSED. CORROSION DIFFICULTIES IN THE SYSTEM'S POINT LOMA TUNNEL AND IN THE PRIMARY TREATMENT PLANT (INCLUDING DETERIORATION OF THE ENCLOSED SEDIMENTATION STRUCTURE AND THE FUME INCINERATOR AND CORROSION OF THE HYDRAULIC PUMP AND THE VORTEX STRUCTURE) ARE EXAMINED.
