Cathodic protection & pipeline integrity

Balslev is among the leading experts within cathodic corrosion protection and pipeline integrity

With our long, solid experience in this area Balslev is among the global leaders in consulting related to cathodic protection of metallic structures and pipeline integrity. Companies in Denmark as well as abroad therefore often seek our advice in these matters.

We master all aspects within cathodic protection, e.g.:

• Project engineering
• Renovation and upgrading
• Supervision
• Ordinary control measurements.

Pipeline integrity

When metallic structures like pipelines, cables and communication wires are located in the proximity of high voltage cables, it poses several risks:

• High voltage could be induced on the pipeline in case of faults in the high voltage lines, making it very dangerous to touch
• Under normal condition of the high voltage lines AC-voltage could be induced on the pipeline, and under special circumstances this could lead to an accelerated corrosion process.

As a part of pipeline integrity we perform calculations related to:

• Metallic pipeline systems
• Communication systems
• Other infrastructure like e.g. cable systems.

We take active part in norms for cathodic corrosion protection

In addition, our experts contribute to standards and norms in the area i both Denmark and abroad.
