Certified cathodic protection and 24/7-monitoring
Don't give corrosion a chance with Equans. Metals, whether underground, in water, or in concrete structures that are not properly protected will rust. The corrosion of metal components can lead to numerous negative consequences for your installations: leaks, breakdowns, even safety issues.
With professional preventive cathodic protection and 24/7-monitoring against rust formation and concrete corrosion, your installation will last longer and repair and replacement costs will be kept under control.
Equans takes care of your cathodic protection and rust prevention
Our experts carefully analyse your situation and needs, and offer you appropriate anticorrosion solutions. In doing so, we take into account your budget, your in-house expertise and your objectives in terms of the integrity of your installations.
By tackling rust formation decisively with low-maintenance corrosion protection, you extend the lifespan of your assets and avoid unnecessary and costly intervention expenses.
Corrosion Protection and Prevention from A to Z
Our certified corrosion experts assist you professionally with:
- Detailed needs and risk analysis of your cathodic protection
- Advice tailored to your installation and environmental factors
- Design and calculation for low-maintenance corrosion protection
for example, passive or active cathodic protection - Choice of high-quality protective material from various suppliers
- Installation and inspection by LEVEL 1 technicians and NACE corrosion engineers
- Flexible monitoring systems to keep an eye on your corrosion protection 24/7
- Professional maintenance and periodic inspection with a detailed report and description of findings
Underground Inspections - Tracing Pipelines
Inspecting an underground pipeline is not easy, unless you have the right tools. With our equipment, we can, without excavation:
- Determine the pipeline's route and digitally map it with GPS coordinates
- Detect coating faults
- Identify conductivity interruptions
Depending on the application, we will choose between ACVG or DCVG measurements. Simple, fast, and without system interruptions.
Real-time monitoring of your corrosion protection
Equans’ 24/7 monitoring system gathers all the data from your CP system. The flexible monitoring system can be placed on any CP element (e.g., impressed current and sacrificial anodes, isolation couplings, test posts, flange isolation sets, reference electrodes) without affecting your existing installations. Moreover, the system is compatible with several rectifier brands. For even greater ease of installation, the monitoring system also runs on batteries and data are transmitted over the 4G network.
You have extensive options to set threshold values. As soon as there are abnormal values, interferences, power outages, or other alarms, you will be immediately notified via email. This allows you to intervene before it's too late and perform targeted interventions only where and when necessary.
What are the benefits of cathodic protection and monitoring for your business?
