It was a full house for Perth last Thursday as the Chapter collaborated with Curtin University for an informative technical event. First up was Andrei Ezergailis, ASC Pty Ltd’s CCSM LifCycle Manager, to go over ASC’s journey to ISO55001’s certification and the lessons learned from it. Next was Curtin’s very own senior research fellow from their Faculty of Science and Engineering, Katerina Lepkova, to address the latest developments in corrosion protection measures.
