CATHODIC PROTECTION

CP DESIGN

Because it inhibits corrosion, CP allows the use of thinner metal thicknesses and can therefore be extremely cost-effective over the operating life of an underground asset. When designing a new CP system, a survey is usually made and an economic justification of the project produced. This takes account of:

    • Project specifications
    • National and international guidelines
    • Negotiation with landowners, public bodies or other interested parties

CP parameters such as:

    • Type (galvanic or impressed current)
    • Current demand and electrical supply requirements
    • Number and location of anodes or transformer rectifiers
    • Monitoring requirements

Abriox works with CP design consultants and companies to assist with their CP monitoring requirements.
