Abstract
This paper presents investigations to ascertain the corrosion control benefits of polyethylene encasement for ductile iron pipelines in corrosive soil environments. Investigative procedures including cell-to-cell potential surveys, side drain technique measurements, in-situ and laboratory soil tests, pipe-to-soil potential measurements and excavation inspections. Included are testing results and the location sites of each investigation. These investigations demonstrate the effectiveness of polyethylene encasement as a corrosion control system for ductile iron pipe.
