Cathodic Protection for Reinforced Concrete Structures

Cathodic protection of reinforced concrete structures is a technique for rescuing corrosion damaged structures and, in certain instances, preventing them from corroding in the first place, and its use is growing.

This book is for specialist contractors, large consultants and owners of corrosion damaged structures, and looks at international experience with this technique. It examines why corrosion is occurring, the differences in the application of CP with the stark dichotomy in its success and failure, and finally ways in which its performance can be improved on future installations. Information is valuable, as the success or failure of the CP system has a marked effect on the service life of the structure.

Paul Chess was formerly the Managing Director of the largest specialist manufacturer of products for cathodic protection of concrete in the world, Cathodic Protection International. He is currently the Managing Director of Corrosion Remediation Limited.
