Cathodic Protection
Cathodic Protection (CP) is a complement to coating systems and serves as a second barrier against external corrosion for buried or submerged infrastructure. Its purpose is to polarize the structure by supplying protective current, either from galvanic anodes or an impressed current system, to reduce corrosion to acceptable levels. In the United States, CP is a regulatory requirement for Oil & Gas assets and for potable water systems, and it is widely used across other industries to protect pipelines, tanks, steel sheet piling, and similar structures.
Vecor provides specialized support across all stages of cathodic protection implementation, from design and installation to commissioning, monitoring, and long‑term maintenance. Our team has extensive hands‑on experience with complex challenges such as interference, low‑performing CP systems, and troubleshooting. We have helped operators significantly reduce non‑compliant systems through efficient field practices and strong technical oversight.
Vecor also delivers EPC‑level capabilities for new CP installations and upgrades, ensuring safe, high‑quality execution from engineering through construction. Our technicians and engineers support commissioning, inspection, and verification of CP systems to ensure they meet design and regulatory requirements. In addition, Vecor performs regulated CP monitoring tasks, including annual surveys and bi‑monthly inspections, with a strong track record of safety, accuracy, and reliability.
