In trying to apply cathodic protection to radiant heating pipes, it was not possible to provide protection from an external ground bed so distributed anodes were installed through a concrete floor. Because some 500 anode clusters were installed in a space 300 × 1200 feet some unusual techniques of application had to be developed to make the installation feasible. These techniques, along with the reasoning that led to their use are described. Also mentioned are some of the problems encountered in trying to determine if and when complete protection of the system was obtained.
Cost data pertaining both to the installation and the operation of this cathodic protection system are reported. 5.2.3
