The cathodic protection method can directly inhibit the electrochemical corrosion process of the reinforcement itself and effectively protect the reinforcement. It is considered to be the most effective and economical method, especially applicable to the reinforced concrete structures polluted by chloride. "Cathodic protection system is the only technology that can completely prevent the corrosion of concrete structures." - Forrest Daniel
"Cathodic protection is the only technology that has been proved to be able to protect bridge deck reinforced concrete in salt pollution environment." -- Highway Administration of the United States Department of Transportation
Characteristics of concrete cathodic protection:
● The only technology that can effectively prevent corrosion in salt pollution environment
● One-time design life reaches 100 years
● Service life of anode is 100 years
● Service life of reference electrode is 30 years
● Remote control system, fully intelligent
