Cathodic Protection: Extending the Life of Buried Pipelines
Combined with coatings and NDT inspection, cathodic protection is one of the most cost-effective integrity tools available.
External corrosion remains one of the leading threats to pipeline integrity. Coatings provide the first barrier, but defects are inevitable over decades of service. Cathodic protection supplies the electrochemical defence that protects steel where coatings fail.
An effective programme starts with a pre-design survey, followed by detailed design, procurement, installation and commissioning, and continues with routine monitoring and refurbishment. Coating integrity surveys and NDT inspection complete the picture.
Energy East delivers the full cathodic protection lifecycle alongside internal corrosion management and inspection services.
