Cathodic protection is an electrical method of corrosion control which has proven to be both effective and economical on numerous metallic structures placed in electrolytes such as soil or water. This corrosion control technique has been extensively applied underground on pipelines, lead cables, electrical grounding systems, power plants, storage tanks, well casings and a variety of other underground and submerged structures.
