Advanced Cathodic Protection Training – Full Course Details
🧠 Course Overview
This advanced-level training is designed for engineers, inspectors, and technicians involved in the design, implementation, and maintenance of cathodic protection (CP) systems. It covers both Galvanic and Impressed Current Systems (ICS) with a deep dive into design calculations, field testing, troubleshooting, and compliance with international standards (such as NACE, ISO, and DNV).
🎯 Learning Objectives
- Understand advanced CP system design principles for pipelines, tanks, offshore platforms, and reinforced concrete.
- Perform accurate field measurements and interpret CP survey data (CIPS, DCVG, EFM).
- Analyze coating interactions, current requirements, and anode selection.
- Troubleshoot complex CP system failures and rectifier issues.
- Ensure CP system compliance with NACE SP0169, ISO 15589, and other standards.
