Maintenance and Inspection of Cathodic Protection Systems
Metallic infrastructure such as pipelines, marine structures, and storage tanks is highly corrosion resistant. Cathodic Protection Systems (CP) provide an electrochemical shield, significantly extending the life of these assets. In this case, a leading industrial client partnered with Manav Energy to revamp deteriorating CP systems. A structured, multi-faceted approach was deployed to ensure long-term protection, compliance, and operational continuity.
Problem Statement
1. System Inefficiencies
Underperformance due to depleted anodes, worn coatings, and outdated connections.
2. Lack of Standardized Maintenance
Inconsistent inspections led to undetected degradation.
3. Environmental Risk
Leaks from corroded structures threatened surrounding ecosystems.
4. Unplanned Downtime
Unexpected failures caused operational shutdowns and unplanned expenses.
5. Non-Compliance
Falling short of corrosion protection standards exposed the client to penalties and risks.
6. High Lifecycle Costs
Neglected preventive care increased the need for costly overhauls.
