Designing Concrete Pressure Pipe to Resist Corrosion
Publication: Pipelines 2021
ABSTRACT
In most of North America, concrete pressure pipe will perform for many decades without cathodic protection or other supplemental corrosion control mechanisms. There are locations on the continent where supplemental corrosion protection is essential for a concrete pressure pipe project to reach its design life. This paper will review the installation conditions in which concrete pressure pipe does and does not need supplemental protection, as well as present issues and options regarding the corrosion protection alternatives that can be applied.
