SERVICES
Cathodic Protection Colorado
designs, engineers and installs cathodic protection systems of all
kinds for most all applications. Cathodic Protection Colorado has
demonstrated experience in virtually all aspects of the pipeline
transmission and distribution industry from routine operation and
maintenance-related matters to corrosion control engineering design
and construction. The firm has successfully completed a wide variety
of projects ranging from relatively small scopes of work through
major construction projects. As a result of our years of
combined experience in gas and liquid pipeline engineering, Cathodic
Protection Colorado understands the importance of close communication
with the client throughout any project we undertake. Our
employees are well versed in the regulatory codes affecting the
natural gas and liquid pipeline industry, i.e., Title 49 CFR Parts
191, 192, 195 and 199. We provide a wide range of engineering
services to the pipeline industry including many areas of consulting
expertise and project management. The following will outline
the variety of services
FEDERAL
AND STATE LAW COMPLIANCE ISSUES
Most types of
underground gas pipelines are subject to strict federal and state law
requirements. These include inspection, survey, documentation,
reporting, and other requirements. These laws and regulations can be
very confusing, especially to a small property manager like mobile
home park, apartment, RV park, or complex owners. We provide
education and training on all of the federal and state requirements
to insure you have no issues with state and federal regulatory
inspectors. We also provide all required compliance documents
required by law such as:
We evaluate, author, and train
hundreds of small property owners to insure full compliance with
state and federal regulators. We also interface with the state
inspectors when compliance issues are identified and assist our
clients in navigating the confusing regulatory environment.
SURVEY ACTIVITIES
Over the past 40 years, Cathodic
Protection Colorado has provided and conducted all phases of gas leak
surveys throughout the U.S. No job is too big or too small. We have
provided surveys to large companies that operate multi-state gas
transmission lines to small owner operators of mobile home parks. The
following are some of the types of surveys we have conducted.
PIPELINE
AND GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM INSPECTIONS
Small
property owners like mobile home park, apartment, RV park, or complex
owners across the West rely on Cathodic
Protection Colorado
to provide quality third-party inspection services, ensuring their
assets are built and maintained to specs, fully compliant with
federal and state laws, and operated reliably and safely. As a
leading provider of third party inspection services, Cathodic
Protection Colorado
has earned a reputation for excellence and integrity. We provide
inspections in various fields including:
GALVANIC
& IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Steel rusts
and deteriorates when exposed to the elements. Rusting is an
electrochemical process that affects most underground or underwater
metallic structures, including oil and gas pipelines. To protect the
environment and address the high costs of repair/replacement,
its important to control corrosion. The most effective method
to prevent corrosion is called cathodic protection, which has been
used since the early 1800's. Cathodic
Protection Colorado
has been providing quality cathodic protection services for more than
30 years.
Cathodic
protection (CP) is a technology used to control the corrosion of a
metallic structure by making it work as the cathode in an
electrochemical cell. The two primary types of cathodic protection are:
A galvanic
(sometimes referred to as passive or sacrificial) system uses active
metals (aluminum, zinc, or magnesium) to generate the protective
current. It is best used on well-coated structures of a limited size.
A common example would be the anodes on a boat hull.
Applications
for cathodic protection include:
