Cathodic Protection

Cathodic Protection is the most effective means to control metal deterioration.
Steel underground storage tanks (UST), piping, swing joints and flex connectors
that are in contact with soil can be subject to corrosion and thus deteriorate
and possibly create a catastrophic leak. By utilizing direct current electricity to
reduce corrosive action, cathodic protection effectively controls metal
deterioration by making the tank/pipe the cathode of a typical electrochemical
cell.
Federal regulations require a qualified corrosion expert design cathodic
protection systems installed at a UST site. Federal regulations further require that, if
you have an impressed current system, you must inspect the system every 60
days to verify its proper operation. Records must be maintained of all system tests
and inspections.
Compliance Testing & Technology will Perform feasibility surveys to determine suitability of system installation followed by a Assessment Survey, per regulatory requirements, to evaluate UST’s for corrosion damage on tanks Upon design of the ideal system for your site, we will: Install a complete cathodic protection system, tailored specifically to your site’s requirements.
We commission the system, including final testing and adjustments,as needed
and train the owner and operators on system operation and ongoing regulatory
requirements and perform regular maintenance, including periodic testing and
necessary adjustments and generate requisite Corrosion Control Reports
