Galvanic anodes have been used to provide various levels of corrosion protection to reinforced concrete structures for many years. Some installations have met expectations and others have not performed as desired. Failures have been associated with lack of understanding of the performance of anodes with time. Long-term monitoring of galvanic anodes has allowed detailed analysis of their performance and aided in the understanding of the way performance diminishes with time and how temperature affects current delivery. The aging effect of the anode is described by an Aging Factor which was found to be specific to each anode type. Knowledge of the Aging Factor and the mean annual temperature has permitted performance expectations and duration of protection to be defined prior to final design. Successful designs are designs which meet the specified performance expectations for the design service life and are based on the actual performance of the specified galvanic anode in the service environment. The temperature and corrosivity of the environment must be considered. Long-term galvanic anode performance data has been used to validate the proposed design approach.

There is no doubt that Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) of steel reinforced concrete has, over the last decades, become a well-established technique for controlling reinforcement corrosion of structural elements. The expectation of long-life protection has, however, been somewhat reduced as some anode systems fail, monitoring equipment become antiquated, and lack of adequate maintenance makes the systems inoperable with the average service life of any ICCP system falling to 15-20 years.

The case history will discuss HDD methodology and challenges. With all the benefits of HDD comes the disadvantages especially from pipeline maintenance, corrosion control and integrity management. HDD can impose additional strain on the pipeline during the pull through process and can increase both installation stress and operational stress. HDD installed pipeline crossings are deep and could easily become low points for liquid hold up causing flow issues.

API (American Petroleum Institute) tracks and analyzes the cause of leaks / releases of hydrocarbons based on data reported to PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration). One study took a statistical look at the causes of internal corrosion for onshore liquid pipelines. In a 10-year period, a total of 503 incidents were responsible for 53,000 barrels spilled and property damage of $188,000,000.
