Features
Retrofitting Wind Turbine Monopiles with
Cathodic Protection
A strategy to provide monopiles with a corrosion
prevention system included resealing the J-tubes to
prevent seawater flushing and installing a galvanic
cathodic protection (CP) system inside the
submerged section of the monopile.
Study: Lack of Corrosion Controls
Caused Flint Water Crisis
Led by university researchers, the findings of this
new study support the understanding that lead
leached into the pipe system in Flint, Michigan,
because the water wasn't treated to prevent
corrosion.

Coupons for Cathodic Protection
Evaluation of Mixed-Metal Piping Systems
The measurement and interpretation of CP data in
plants or other complex facilities present inherent
challenges where mixed metals are electrically
continuous within the protected structures' CP
system. (A Science Behind It feature with links to
CORROSION journal articles.)
Self-Consolidating Concrete, Galvanic
Anodes Used for Bridge Repairs
A Virginia Department of Transportation
investigation focuses on the use of self-
consolidating concrete to repair substructure
elements with vertical and overhead sections. The
research also explores the use of galvanic anodes in
self-consolidating concrete repairs.
