Continental loss and risk alert
In 1994, a very successful and valuable research and development cooperative was initiated between a senior national S.A.B.S. / ISO standards and technical authority, a prominent veteran CSIR research scientist, and a leading remedial roofing research and applications technologist.

Background to ARTF

Six years later, due to the great success and value of this unique collaboration to industry and the public, these authorities became the founding associates of ARTF.

Walter Gordon Steward BarnettSecond Chairman of ARTF
Walter Barnett was the founder and an honorary lifetime member of the Hot Dip Galvanizers Association of Southern Africa. He has had a long and illustrious career in the corrosion control field, having acquired a number of honorary titles and awards for his achievements.
Mr. Barnett has twice served as President of the Corrosion Institute, and was Executive Director of the Hot Dip Galvanizers Association of Southern Africa (HDGASA). He was a gold and silver medal award winner of the Corrosion Institute, and was appointed as their Vice Chairman in 2003. He remained very active as a senior advanced technical consultant in the fields of corrosion protection, coatings and galvanizing, up until his passing on March 16, 2009.ARTF 4
CONTINENTAL CORROSION CRISIS
Worldwide, and over many decades, a great many national institutions, research authorities, corrosion specialists etc., have issued numerous serious warnings, regarding the massive financial losses, asset damages, and risks caused by the corrosion of metal components in roofs and buildings.

“Overall costs which can be attributed to corrosion amount to several billion Rand annually in South Africa alone.
Corrosion damage to roofing contributes significantly to this costly situation”.

Serious Fire, SHE, and Legal Violations and Risks are Very Common
A number of intensive site surveys also showed that SHE, fire, legal and other risks and violations, are…… a great deal more widespread, dangerous, and legally non-compliant nationally, than was previously realized!!!

FIRE!
ARTF
“In recent years, two very well known large wholesale warehouse buildings have been gutted by fire in Gauteng, and their stock and equipment destroyed – this was due to the flammability of the roof insulation”.
Highly flammable, extremely bio-hazardous insulation media in use at a Butterworth warehouse– this product
releases deadly hydrogen-cyanide gas during combustion
In cases like this, insurance claims may be declined.

Illegal and very dangerous structural non-compliances and weaknesses are often a major issue in buildings.

SCRACE Definition:SCRACE derives its name from the first letters of the following:
Special corporate services; Corrosion control; Roofing; Architecture; Construction; Engineering.
SCRACE is an operations, structures and hard asset care and services portfolio that is scientifically developed to address building, property, client and employee needs in the field of roof and building technology, etc..
SCRACE is highly beneficial, as it is an advanced, holistic, synergistic and comprehensive science and system…

A VETERAN SCIENTIFIC EXPERT COMMENTS ON SCRACE
“Although roofing project failures and sub-performance are (very) common in the local roofing industry, cases of such that have been reported to myself, the CSIR, ARTF or their senior members, regarding projects undertaken by ARTF approved specialist applicators, using the (SCRACE) specifications and application/ QA etc. systems, have decreased to zero”.M.S. Smit, Chief Research Officer (now retired), Division of Building and Construction Technology, CSIR. ( ) = editors changes
27ARTF
“The ARTF-SCRACE system probably achieves more cost saving - and asset salvation, stabilization, protection and optimization per Rand input, then any other method in use continentally.
It is a true, exceptional and very secure investment”.
