About
Dr. Fernando Galetto is a leading researcher in the field of civil infrastructure durability, with a primary focus on the assessment and preservation of concrete sewer systems. His work addresses the critical challenge of biogenic hydrogen sulfide corrosion, a pervasive threat to the structural integrity of wastewater infrastructure worldwide. Dr. Galetto’s most notable contribution is the development of the Angular Modulated Penetrometer, a novel in-situ testing device detailed in his 2024 paper. This innovation allows for precise, non-destructive evaluation of concrete degradation in hard-to-reach maintenance holes, offering a practical solution for early detection and proactive maintenance. While his work is still emerging, with his seminal paper already garnering initial citations, its potential impact is significant. By providing a reliable method to quantify corrosion damage, Dr. Galetto’s research directly supports the extension of service life for aging sewer networks, promising substantial economic and environmental benefits for municipalities globally. His work stands at the intersection of geotechnical engineering and materials science, paving the way for smarter, more resilient urban infrastructure.
