Coordination of Corrosion Control^⋆ Available to Purchase

The author urges better coordination among users of cathodic protection for corrosion control. Coordination means interchange of information regarding proposed or operating control devices. Better engineering of proposed installations is needed in many cases to permit proper coordination. Preventive or corrective measures that are reasonable and practical should be followed where underground metallic structures of more than one company are involved. An example is given of a top management committee which oversees a utility’s entire corrosion control program. The author believes that adequate coordination (which is the exchange of pertinent information based on careful engineering studies of each corrosion control project and participated in by management) will lead to effective and satisfactory corrosion control.
