AC Mitgation Solutions
AC Mitigation is a critical safety and integrity requirement for pipelines sharing rights-of-way with high-voltage power lines. Induced AC current can cause rapid, localized corrosion and poses a significant shock hazard to field personnel. We design and install grounding systems that safely drain this energy into the earth without compromising your cathodic protection.
Our Services Include:
- Initial Field Testing: On-site measurement of induced AC voltages and soil resistivity to establish baseline interference levels.
- Interference Modeling: Advanced computer modeling to predict AC levels based on power line load, fault conditions, and pipeline proximity.
- AC Mitigation Design, Installation, Monitoring, and Evaluation: Full-lifecycle management of your mitigation project, from engineering blue-prints to post-installation performance verification.
- Zinc Ribbon and Copper Grounding Systems: Expert installation of specialized grounding materials designed to provide a low-resistance path for AC discharge.
- Solid State Decouplers (SSD): Integration of SSD technology to safely ground AC interference while maintaining the DC isolation required for your cathodic protection.
Why AC Mitigation is critical:
- Prevents rapid corrosion from AC interference
- Protects personnel from shock hazards
- Ensures compliance with safety regulations
- Essential for pipelines near high-voltage power lines
