Presented by Ed Hernandez, Project X Corrosion Enginee ring
The presentation will explain what corrosion engineers need
to know to develop their corrosion control recommendations for common cons
truction materials used in underground infrastructure to avoid costly futur
e failures. We'll review how to collect soil samples and where to collect s
oil samples and the significance of various tests.
Ed Hernandez,
P.E., CP-2, NACE Certified Corrosion Technologist, of Project X Corrosion
Engineering was born in East LA, graduated from Cal Poly Pomona as a mechan
ical engineer, ended up in Finland obtaining a Masters in Materials Science
, married a Finn and learned a few languages along the way, worked as a civ
il engineer at RBF Consulting, then as a Corrosion Consultant at Schiff Ass
ociates, then as a forensic engineer at Vollmer Gray Engineering labs. Thi
s strange career path and internships has gained him experience in the fiel
ds of corrosion control, positive material identification in the lab or fie
ld, soil analysis, water analysis, failure analysis, metallurgy, foundry e
ngineering, and various forensic analysis methods using Scanning Electron M
icroscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX), X-Ray Fluoresc
ence (XRF), Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES), Fourier Transform Spectros
copy (FTIR), Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC) testing, Ion Chromat
ography, and various data logging services to monitor pressure, temperature
, strain, current, and humidity for investigations. Ed is passionate about
solving problems, educating, building a corrosion engineering community in
the Temecula-Murrieta region, and sharing knowledge.
Ed Hernandez is the current chair and lectur er at the Western States Corrosion Seminar, Board member of ASCE Los Angele s Geo-Institute and ASCE Inland Empire Geo-Institute, Board member of the A SM Temecula Section, and owner of Project X Corrosion Engineering where ser vices for failure analysis, soil corrosivity testing, corrosion control rec ommendation reports, and cathodic protection designs are provided since 201 2.
The webinar will be recorded and available to CalGeo Members (ONLY) on the Online Learning Library.
