The objective of this service is to design a cathodic protection (CP) system that effectively mitigates external corrosion risks for buried piping and other metallic infrastructure. Each design is developed based on site-specific data, operational conditions, and internationally recognized industry standards to ensure long-term protection and asset integrity.
Our designs are based on recognized international standards and methodologies, including:
ASTM G57 – Standard Test Method for Field Measurement of Soil Resistivity Using the Wenner Four-Electrode Method
AMPP/NACE SP0572 – Design, Installation, Operation, and Maintenance of Impressed Current Deep Anode Beds
AMPP/NACE SP0169 – Control of External Corrosion on Underground or Submerged Metallic Piping Systems
Each design is tailored to meet project-specific conditions and operational requirements, ensuring the long-term protection and integrity of buried metallic assets.
