Induced AC Mitigation

Pipelines are often forced to share right-of-way corridors with high voltage power lines and other facilities. As a result, inductive and conductive electrical interference is an increasingly familiar problem.

Induced corrosion can be a huge threat to buried pipelines due to their very high corrosion rate. This corrosion of metal can result in metal loss of more than 1mm per year.

Mitigation systems and Cathodic Protection

The design and installation of mitigation systems on the pipelines can reduce the interference levels and eliminate safety and operational problems. Ace Contracting has a team of expert engineers in South Africa that will design mitigation systems that are implemented and installed properly. By using Cathodic Protection, we are able to prevent stress corrosion cracking.
