28-29 AUGUST 2017 | PULLMAN HOTEL, AUCKLAND

Take a deeper dive into the technical aspects of Corrosion Management

Need practical instruction on specific topics?Deepen your understanding and gain valuable skills with two practical workshops. Workshops give delegates the opportunity to hear from the best in industry about how to manage their specific needs and practical insight on the corrosion protection process. This year’s Coatings & Corrosion Conference & Exhibition will feature TWO separately bookable workshops on the topic of AS/NZS 2312.1 and Passive Fire Protection delivered to you by industry experts International Paint.

30 AUGUST 2017 | 9.30 - 12.30

In the event of a fire, steel structures need to be sufficiently resistant to ensure a safe evacuation and ability of entry by emergency services. In this workshop delegates will learn how to coat their structures to ensure that in the event of an emergency damage to structures will be minimised.

• Looking at the legal obligations for fire protection in structures

• Examining the different types of technology and coatings for passive fire protection

• Discussing what works best for different situations and environments

• Ensuring cost effectiveness and low environmental impact while remaining compliant and safe in the event of a fire

• Working in challenging environments - ensuring fire protection in high temperature conditions

• Providing maintenance on fire protection coatings

Chris Partington, PFP Project Manager, International Paint

30 AUGUST 2017 | 1.30 - 5.00

AS/NZ 2312.1 has recently had a major update with several changes to categories and new guidance on selecting the right paint system for different environments. International Paint will take delegates through the updated standard and explain how these changes will affect the process of specification for engineers, architects, builders and users of protective coatings.

• Examining the use of AS/NZS 2312.1 and its application to infrastructure

• Looking at the separation of paint coating and other methods of corrosion protection

• Exploring new guidance and information on warranties, recommended coating systems, maintenance and inspection

• Discussing the classification of environments under the new standard

• Expanding the section on fabrication - what is new?

• The relationship between AS/NZS 2312 and ISO 12944-5 relating to durability and warranty

The Coatings & Corrosion Conference & Exhibition has cemented itself as the premier event for asset owners to meet with industry experts to mitigate and minimise the cost and effects of corrosion in the industry.

Join us this August to hear from the best and brightest in corrosion protection, featuring international and domestic thought leaders delivering case studies, new developments and innovations in the field.

• NETWORK and learn with peers in the field of asset management and engineering

• BE THE FIRST to hear about new coatings techniques

• CONTRIBUTE to important discussions about the development of the industry

• LEARN from others’ experiences - great case studies from New Zealand and abroad

The most motivating thing for me in a conference is 1) the experience of the

speakers (ie. content) and 2) the passion of the presenters. Both of these rated very high

at this conference - well done!

I gained a lot of information. I can put this to practical use.
