Advanced Cathodic Protection Techniques
(Specification, Design, Commissioning, Testing & Monitoring)

 

Introduction:

Cathodic protection is a mature technique for controlling corrosion of steel structures immersed in waters, buried in soils and imbedded in concrete. This course thoroughly and systematically covers the fundamental principles of cathodic protection and its practical applications such as marine and offshore structures in seawater environment, storage tanks and pipelines buried in soils, and reinforcing steels embedded in concrete structures. The course will provide detailed information on cathodic protection specification, design, commissioning, testing and monitoring. The candidates will gain advanced knowledge and skills in cathodic protection of common types of steel structures immersed in waters, buried in soils and imbedded in concrete. They will learn the principles and applications of advanced sensors and monitoring systems for cathodic protection monitoring, condition survey, diagnosis and troubleshooting. Facility owners will benefit from the enhanced safety and reduced maintenance costs.

Course Objectives:

 

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

 

·       Learn about cathodic protection specification, design, commissioning, testing and monitoring
