External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) provides an in-depth overview of pipeline health from an external standpoint. Regular assessments, required by Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), prevent significant corrosion issues. Unlike alternative assessment techniques, ECDA does NOT require shutting down the pipeline, making it a more efficient and less costly option for many pipeline operators.

These include proprietary products and services that extend the life of major infrastructure assets such as oil, gas and water pipelines, above ground storage tanks, power plants, energy facilities and well casings. MATCOR is a turnkey ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer of customized cathodic protection and AC mitigation products and systems. Services include complete high-quality project management, construction, corrosion engineering, installation, field service and maintenance programs. The company maintains a team of NACE certified specialists and a large fleet of modern construction equipment. MATCOR’s manufacturing plant is located in Chalfont, PA, and the company maintains field service and sales offices in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Wyoming. The company’s proprietary cathodic protection and AC mitigation systems are also shipped worldwide. MATCOR is a BrandSafway (brandsafway.com) company. What is cathodic protection? Cathodic Protection (CP) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell. What is AC mitigation? AC mitigation is the process of designing and applying pipeline grounding systems to: • Prevent voltage spikes during fault conditions • Reduce AC current density to protect against AC induced corrosion • Maintain AC step and touch potentials below 15 Vac to protect personnel from shock hazards

Check out this case study Ted Huck presented last year featuring the casing repair of a high-pressure natural gas pipeline running under railroad tracks and feeding into a power plant. Following the repair, a vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) was installed to prevent corrosion. Check out Ted’s presentation below. #cathodicprotection #pipelinecasingrepair #matcor

Pipeline operators find an inordinate number of pipeline leaks occur at cased crossings, typically used at road and rail crossings to absorb/deflect the loading of vehicle and train traffic from the carrier pipeline inside the casing. VCI is one affordable solution to this challenge. Visit our website for more VCI resources and be on the lookout for MATCOR’s upcoming article on VCI for tanks and casings in Tanks & Terminals’ Summer Edition 👇 #tankcathodicprotection #cathodicprotection
