The Corrosion Blind Spot in the AI Buildout: ZIS Featured in Data Center Knowledge

As investment in AI infrastructure accelerates, long-term asset reliability needs to be considered well before a data center becomes operational.

In a new Industry Perspectives article published by Data Center Knowledge, Gautam Ramdas, Vice President of Global Market Development for ZERUST Integrity Solutions^®, explores why corrosion prevention and preservation should be part of the conversation during data center design, procurement, construction, and commissioning.

Bringing Preservation Into the Data Center Conversation

The rapid expansion of AI infrastructure is driving new levels of investment in data center facilities, equipment, cooling systems, and supporting infrastructure. While much of the industry conversation understandably focuses on computing capacity, power, cooling, and speed to deployment, the long-term condition of those assets is another important consideration.

Drawing on decades of experience across energy, petrochemical, industrial, marine, and other critical infrastructure applications, Gautam examines how established preservation principles can help inform the way data center owners, developers, engineers, and contractors think about asset protection.

Rather than waiting for corrosion to become a maintenance issue after commissioning, the article considers the value of addressing preservation throughout the project lifecycle.
