Introduction to Cathodic Protection
This bespoke awareness course is designed to be delivered internally to your team according to your requirements. It explores the key principles around cathodic protection, laying important groundwork around both sacrificial anode and impressed current systems. Delegates will study essential principles regarding safe operation and maintenance, and the effects of cathodic protection on other systems.
Description
Why this course?
Tailored to your requirements
With a wide range of modules to choose from, our
training team will work with you to design a highly
effective learning solution that suits your team. The
course outline and modules have been designed
by senior consultants from Penspen’s Centre of
Engineering Excellence who are experts in the
subject of cathodic protection.
Full project lifecycle
We offer modules across the entire lifecycle
of a cathodic protection system, providing a
comprehensive foundation covering all key
principles around operation, monitoring,
maintenance, inspection, analysis, and safety. It can
also cover retrofitting, so that cathodic protection
systems can be upgraded or replaced as necessary.
