No dig, no doubt – redifining ECDA with CMI

Written by J. Stume, E. Likovskis, EMPIT GmbH, Berlin, Germany. One of the major challenges the pipeline industry faces today is aging assets. Across the globe vast networks of buried steel pipelines continue to operate beyond their intended designed lifetime. It is safe to assume that nearly all are affected by corrosion to some extent. While cathodic protection (CP) systems generally keep corrosion under control, they can fail or lose effectiveness over time, often without visible signs until it’s too late. Thus, periodic inspections and integrity assessments are even more vital on aging pipelines. Read More
