A cathodic protection program is a preventative maintenance program to ensure cathodic protection systems at a facility are maintained and tested in a cost effective, regular interval and remedial repairs are performed in a timely manner.
A well run program should include budgeting and personnel for the following:
- Training for technical personnel
- Monitoring of CP system by on-site personnel
- Annual surveys by CP experts
- On call services of corrosion technical experts to inspect corrosion failures
- On call services of corrosion technical experts to help design remedial repairs
- Periodic CP system repairs.
- Records maintenance for inspection by regulatory agencies and maintenance personnel.
NACE International www. nace.org maintains a directory of technical experts in cathodic protection.
