Measuring cathodic protection

Cathodic protection is a method of corrosion protection for your tanks and pipes. A (periodic) inspection of your installation as a whole (tanks, pipes, insulating flanges,…) is of primary importance to protect your installation against corrosion and possible leaks.

Corrosivity of the soil

In determining the corrosivity of the soil, we use a number of measurements and determinations to decide whether or not your installation needs to be cathodically protected.
