What is cathodic protection?

A Cathodic Protection (CP) job involves preventing metal structures, such as pipelines, tanks, and bridges, from corroding by using electrochemical techniques. CP professionals design, install, monitor, and maintain cathodic protection systems that extend the lifespan of these structures. They may work with two main types of CP systems: sacrificial anode and impressed current. Responsibilities often include testing corrosion levels, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

What does cathodic protection work?

Cathodic protection work involves applying electrical current to metal structures, such as pipelines or tanks, to prevent corrosion. It typically requires knowledge of electrical systems, corrosion science, and the use of specialized tools and testing equipment to ensure effective protection.
