Abstract:
|
Cathodic protection is a very well-known method of preventing or stopping reinforcement
corrosion and thereby extending the service life of reinforced concrete civil structures. However, a
number of factors, which among others are design, materials and components, installation
methods, quality of workmanship, and operation and maintenance of the cathodic protection
system, have influence on the functionality and effectivity of the cathodic protection system. The
optimum design that fulfils the Client''s requirements to cost, traffic disruption, service life, etc.
shall be determined in accordance with the structure layout and the ability of the Client''s
organisation to conduct operation and maintenance. It is critical to ensure that all components are
installed properly to achieve the expected service life of the system. Regular and correct operation
and maintenance is also crucial to ensure the functionality and effectivity system.
