Team with NACE/AMPP CP1, CP2, CP3 and CP4 certifications

Two technicians in hard hats surveying in the field: one locates the pipeline with a locator and the other runs the DCVG survey with a data logger and two electrodes.

What do you need to protect?

Pipelines

Gas, oil and multi-product pipelines, and gas distribution networks.

Tanks

Storage tank bottoms and interiors, and underground tanks.

Industrial plants

Fire water networks, incoming and internal gas distribution lines, and storage tanks.

Service stations and fuel depots

Tanks, fuel piping, gas supply pipelines and compressed natural gas (CNG) lines.

How cathodic protection works

Buried or submerged steel corrodes. Cathodic protection stops it with electric current.

  1. Step 1

    Unprotected

    The metal is gradually lost in contact with soil or water.

  2. Step 2

    Protected

    The anodes deliver direct current to the structure and corrode in its place.

  3. Step 3

    Under control

    Periodic measurements confirm that protection reaches the whole structure.
