Buried Structures include corrosion protection by linear SPL^TM-anode systems, discrete anode systems and deep anode systems.

Consider that countless miles (and meters) of underground structures exist in the US and worldwide. Major transportation arteries and fuel/fluid pipelines are particularly at risk of corrosion from the elements. This includes traditional and new energy source systems.

In the U.S. the Department of Transportation (DOT)-based Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has public responsibility for safe and secure movement of hazardous materials to industry and consumers by all transportation modes, including the nation’s pipelines. MATCOR engineers and technicians work closely to follow PHMSA mandates and guidelines as well as lead industry-established standards development. In addition, our experts seek to work with regulators across the globe to comply with regulations that may exist with other nations. Our experience demonstrates that the cathodic protection systems we implement are part of effective, well-considered corrosion maintenance and repair compliance programs.

Corrosion protection systems for buried structures can be found in this section covering Linear SPL^TM-Anode systems and Mini-Deep^TM Deep Anode systems.
