Energising and adjustment
Bringing the system up and tuning output until protection criteria are met across the whole structure, not just near the anodes.
Testing, Commissioning & Monitoring
Proving the system reaches protection criteria, then checking it stays there.
Cathodic Protection
An installed system is not a protected structure. Commissioning adjusts the system until it demonstrably meets protection criteria, and monitoring confirms it still does as coatings age, soil conditions shift and neighbouring infrastructure changes.
What the work covers
Potential surveys
On and instant-off measurements at test points, which is the only way to separate real protection from IR drop.
Commissioning report
Full performance record with as-built drawings, so the next engineer to touch the system knows what was actually installed.
Scheduled monitoring
Periodic inspection at an interval matched to the risk, catching drift before it becomes metal loss.
Remote monitoring
Where it is justified, instrumentation that reports rectifier output and potentials without a site visit.
Corrective action
Diagnosis and adjustment when readings move outside criteria, with the cause identified rather than the output simply turned up.
Typical applications
- Pipelines
- Storage tanks
- Buried metallic structures
- Submerged structures
- Offshore and marine structures
- Structural piles
- Industrial facilities
- Reinforced concrete
