Common Questions
Get answers to frequently asked questions about cathodic protection and our services.
What is cathodic protection and how does it work?
Cathodic protection (CP) is a corrosion control method used to protect metal structures such as pipelines, tanks, and facilities from corrosion. It works by making the metal structure the “cathode” of an electrochemical cell, which prevents it from corroding. This is achieved either by attaching sacrificial anodes that corrode instead of the structure, or by using an impressed current system that applies a controlled electrical current to counteract corrosion.
How do I know if my infrastructure needs cathodic protection?
If your infrastructure includes buried or submerged metal components—such as pipelines, well casings, tanks, or grounding systems—it likely requires cathodic protection. Regulatory requirements, corrosion risk assessments, age of assets, soil conditions, and previous corrosion issues are all indicators. A cathodic protection survey or assessment by a qualified technician is the best way to determine if CP is required or if an existing system is performing properly.
What's the difference between impressed current systems and sacrificial anodes?
Impressed current systems use an external power source to deliver a controlled electrical current through inert anodes. They are commonly used on larger structures or where higher levels of protection are required, offering greater control but requiring more monitoring and maintenance.
Sacrificial anode systems use metals like magnesium or zinc that naturally corrode, sacrificing themselves to protect the structure. These systems are simpler and typically used on smaller or lower-risk assets.
How often should cathodic protection systems be inspected?
Inspection frequency depends on the type of system and regulatory requirements, but most cathodic protection systems should be checked at least annually. Some components, such as rectifiers in impressed current systems, are often inspected more frequently. Regular inspections help ensure compliance, verify system performance, and identify issues before corrosion damage occurs.
What industries do you serve?
We provide cathodic protection and related services to a range of industries across Canada, including oil and gas, energy, industrial facilities, utilities, and infrastructure projects.
