Overview
Corrosion inflicts damage to many industry sectors such as utilities, transportation, infrastructures, government’s asset and production / manufacturing. The global cost of corrosion is US$2.5 trillion, equating to 3.4% of a country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and investing in Corrosion Control can save 15- 35% (USD375- 875 Billion). Therefore, our industry needs Corrosion Professionals and UTP offers a specially designed Corrosion Engineering programme, the first in South East Asia.
