Cathodic Protection (CP) Surveys


Close Interval Potential Survey (CIPS)
  • ✔ Evaluates CP effectiveness along the pipeline
  • ✔ Identifies areas of under-protection or over-protection
  • ✔ Provides real-time data for system adjustments

Direct Current Voltage Gradient (DCVG) Survey
  • ✔ Detects coating defects & pinpoint corrosion hotspots
  • ✔ Measures voltage gradients to assess coating conditions
  • ✔ Determines the severity of coating damage

Alternating Current Voltage Gradient (ACVG) Survey
  • ✔ Identifies coating flaws & discontinuities
  • ✔ Detects pipeline defects that may lead to corrosion
  • ✔ Helps in prioritizing coating repairs

Current Attenuation Test (CAT) Survey
  • ✔ Assesses CP system performance & coating integrity
  • ✔ Identifies variations in pipeline current flow
  • ✔ Detects discontinuities in cathodic protection coverage

Coating Conductance Survey
  • ✔ Evaluates the effectiveness of external coatings
  • ✔ Identifies degraded coatings needing maintenance
  • ✔ Ensures long-term corrosion prevention

AC & DC Interference Studies
  • ✔ Identifies stray current interference from nearby power lines, railways, or foreign pipelines
  • ✔ Recommends mitigation measures such as zinc ribbon grounding or solid-state decouplers
