ACTIVE PROTECTION AGAINST CORROSION OF GAS PIPELINES
- inspection of cathodic protection systems
- tests of cathodic protection effectiveness for pipelines, tanks, boreholes piping, underground complex structures and other steel structures
- tests of the influence of stray currents originating from train and tram traction on steel structures
- tests of corrosion rate by means of electric resistance corrosimetry
- tests of the influence of stray currents originating from HV power grid on steel structures
- tests of pipeline insulation condition by the DCVG method
- carrying out tests to prepare a concept of cathodic protection for new and existing facilities threatened with corrosion
- tests of facilities threatened with corrosion and not corrosion-protected
