October 7, 2015 – SEC Seminar and Dinner Meeting
Corrosion Mitigation In Older Building Envelopes
Presenter: Gina Crevello
Principal – e2chem Consultants, LLC
The seminar will cover diagnosing causes of building envelope corrosion of older steel-framed buildings. The northeast is
the home to some of the most prestigious pre-and post-war steel frame buildings in the US, from elegant apartment
complexes to iconic commercial buildings. As these buildings are now well beyond their intended service life, ongoing
maintenance and repair of the building envelope can be costly and seemingly ongoing. Corrosion of the embedded steel
frame and associated anchorage is one of the major causes of the deterioration and subsequent damage to the building
cladding. Often times, there are visual indicators of corrosion activity, seen in cracking, spalling and potential loss of
entire building stones.
With advanced corrosion diagnostics and durability modeling, determining the condition state of the embedded steel and
projected anticipated damages can be performed. The concept of the corrosion modeling and durability of structure stems
from the European transportation industry and associated FIB codes. By applying this concept to aging buildings, the
assessment procedure allows engineers owners and managers to:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Understand where corrosion problems are on the building
Determine when future cracking or decay will occur
Allow for prioritization of repair,
And, assess if cathodic protection is feasible.

Gina Crevello is an architectural materials conservator and corrosion specialist. She is principal of Echem Consultants LLC and holds
an MSc in Historic Preservation and an Advanced Certificate in the Conservation of Historic Buildings and Sites. Ms. Crevello is a
professional associate of the American Institute of Conservation. After working as an architectural conservator for 7 years, Ms. Crevello
moved to the UK and trained in electrochemistry and corrosion diagnostics. Since 2005, she has developed a unique expertise which
combines material science, assessment procedures for building conditions that impact corrosion, and applying the use of
electrochemistry to the built heritage and landmark structures for corrosion mitigation.
Her area of expertise includes reinforced concrete buildings and structures, steel frame masonry clad buildings, and atmospherically
exposed steel structures. She is a board member of the APTi , former chair of the APTi Training and Education Committee, member of
the APTi Technical Committee on Modern Heritage, committee member of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers STG 01
Concrete Technical Group, member for both the American Concrete Institute’s (ACI) Corrosion committee and the International
Concrete Repair Institute’s Corrosion Committee. She has published and presented numerous times on proactive and preventative
conservation and corrosion mitigation strategies for historic buildings.
