Cortec ® Releases Utilities ‘Survival Guide’ for Extended
Shutdown of Commercial and Institutional Facilities
As the reopening of some commercial and
institutional facilities gives a glimmer of
hope for more normal days ahead, other
facilities remain closed and uncertain on
when or if they will open again. Over the
last several months, these hotels, resorts,
restaurants, theme parks, convention
centers, school districts, university
campuses, and air and ship terminals have
faced new challenges as unprecedented
public safety measures have reduced or
shut down operations completely. Many
facility managers who never had to even
consider a preservation plan have been left
with a major project to tackle. Among other
tasks, corrosion prevention on core utilities
such as boilers, cooling water systems,
and closed loops is a top priority, since
corrosion on idle equipment can result in
• Premature equipment failure
• Unnecessary and non-budgeted repair/
replacement costs
• Further delays to equipment startups
