User Guide for Remote Monitoring Equipment for Cathodic Protection Systems: Phase II

Abstract

Cathodic protection (CP) is required by Federal regulation or Army policy on many buried and submerged structures to prevent corrosion. Periodic testing is required to ensure proper CP system operation, but this testing can be time-consuming and many Army Directorates of Public Works (DPWs) do not have the resources to perform it. Several companies have begun manufacturing remote monitoring units (RMUs) for CP systems. These units allow DPWs to monitor multiple CP systems from a central location. Several commercially available units have been evaluated during a two-phase FEAP demonstration. Beneficial RMU features have been identified and lessons have been learned concerning their implementation. A FEAP User Guide (FEAP UG 97/75) was published based on the results from Phase I. This user guide provides updated information based on Phase II results.
