In-Water Cathodic Protection (CP) Audits

Electrical voltage potential measurement on steel piers using a CP probe, with anode health readings linked directly to the 3D infrastructure map.

Overview

What This Involves

A cathodic protection system on a steel pier or piling only works if the anodes are actually protecting the structure — which requires an in-water voltage potential survey to confirm, not an assumption based on anode age. We run a CP probe survey across the structure and link every reading directly to its location on the 3D infrastructure model, so an operator can see which sections are adequately protected and which anodes need replacement at a glance, not buried in a table.

Method

How It's Done

01

CP probe survey across the structure at an agreed measurement grid

02

Voltage potential readings logged against precise location

03

Readings linked to the 3D structure model, flagging areas outside protection criteria

04

Anode replacement priorities identified from the resulting map

Output

Deliverable

A CP survey report with voltage readings mapped onto the 3D structure model, flagging under-protected areas.

Fit

Who It's For

Port authorities and asset owners with a scheduled cathodic protection monitoring requirement.
