KEY DESIGN FACTORS AND CRITERIA FOR SUCCESSFUL REINFORCED CONCRETE CP SYSTEMS

Cathodic protection (CP) has been used worldwide to protect steel in buried concrete for more than 25 years, and more recently its implementation as part of long-term maintenance management strategies for above ground structures has become increasingly widespread. Experience has shown that there is a need for potential clients to understand the fundamental principles of CP as well as appreciate the requirements for system specification and performance assessment. Likewise contractors offering these systems need to be aware of the minimum requirements and general concepts that need to be satisfied in order to correctly engineer such intricate systems and achieve the desired performance. This paper outlines the relevant technical and contractual issues associated with installing CP systems on reinforced concrete building and civil engineering structures.
