Our Cathodic Protection Services
Cathec specializes in engineering solutions for the corrosion prevention of metallic structures. We offer a comprehensive range of cathodic protection services, from analysis and design to installation, monitoring, and follow-up across a wide variety of applications.
Thanks to our technical expertise and many years of specialization, we develop well-considered and efficient solutions tailored to each specific application. With our certified team, we ensure a professional approach and long-term protection against corrosion.
Consulting & Risk Assessment
Effective cathodic protection starts with a thorough analysis. Our specialists assess corrosion risks, environmental factors, and structural characteristics and recommend a suitable protection strategy for your installation.
Design & Engineering
We design tailor-made cathodic protection solutions for both galvanic and impressed current systems. We select the appropriate materials, define protection criteria, and ensure that each design complies with the applicable standards and guidelines.
Supply & Installation
Cathec provides the installation of cathodic protection systems. Our certified technicians install anodes, test points, rectifiers, and cabling with a strong focus on safety and quality. Each system is tested and properly commissioned.
Monitoring & Inspection
A properly functioning system requires ongoing follow-up. We carry out periodic inspections and measurements to verify protection levels and detect deviations at an early stage. Where required, we implement monitoring solutions for continuous supervision.
Maintenance & Optimisation
After commissioning, we continue to support your installation with preventive and corrective maintenance. As certain standards require annual inspections, we help ensure that your system remains compliant and continues to provide reliable long-term protection.
Earthing & Electrical Interference
Safe earthing with due consideration for corrosion and cathodic protection
Earthing systems play an essential role in the electrical safety and operational reliability of industrial installations. In underground and metallic infrastructure, however, earthing, cathodic protection, and electrical interference can interact directly with one another.
Cathec provides support with the measurement, assessment, and design of earthing systems, with particular expertise in situations where earthing is combined with cathodic protection. We take into account unwanted DC current paths, AC interference, equipotential bonding, and potential adverse effects on corrosion protection.
Our services include, among others:
- earthing and soil resistivity measurements;
- assessment and design of industrial earthing systems;
- analysis of interactions between earthing and cathodic protection;
- investigation of AC and DC interference and stray currents;
- application and sizing of electrical isolation devices, such as decouplers;
- technical support for interfaces with lightning and surge protection systems.
By approaching earthing and cathodic protection as one integrated electrical system, we aim to develop solutions that combine electrical safety, operational reliability, and effective corrosion control.
