Direct Drive Dual Reference Electrodes Key Benefits

Dual reference electrode in one unit (silver chloride + zinc)
Installs without drilling equipment
Reaches depths of 40+ feet
Compacted backfill retains moisture and electrode stability

Direct Drive Dual Reference Electrodes Design

  • Silver chloride and zinc reference electrodes prepackaged within tightly compacted MATCOR reference electrode backfill
  • Backfill retains moisture contact and electrode stability
  • Unique driving cone and driving assembly design enable the dual reference electrode to be directly driven into soft soil, mud or sand to depths of 40 feet or more without the need for drilling equipment.

This design is not suitable for all soil conditions – please contact MATCOR to discuss the feasibility of direct driving the anode.

Direct Drive Dual Reference Electrodes Installation

  • Directly driven into soft soil, mud, or sand to depths of 40 feet or more, no drilling equipment required
  • Not suitable for all soil conditions — contact MATCOR to discuss feasibility before direct driving

Alternating Current Coating Attenuation (ACCA) Surveys

An ACCA survey evaluates buried pipeline coating condition by measuring how an applied AC signal attenuates along the line. Sound coating holds the signal; damaged coating bleeds it into the soil. The rate of attenuation qualitatively ranks coating quality by segment and flags the areas with the most significant holidays.

Alternating Current Voltage Gradient (ACVG) surveys pinpoint buried pipeline coating defects and holidays, helping operator teams evaluate pipeline integrity and protect critical underground infrastructure.
Technicians Performing Annual CP Survey

Annual CP Surveys

Cathodic protection testing must be performed on a regular basis to maintain regulatory compliance and ensure continued corrosion protection of your assets. MATCOR conducts annual CP surveys that go beyond checking a box—our technicians collect the data, and our corrosion engineers interpret it and act on it.

Atmospheric Corrosion Testing

An atmospheric corrosion survey evaluates whether airborne elements — such as sea salt, corrosive chemical plant discharge, or dust — are contributing to a structure’s corrosion. MATCOR technicians inspect the structure, test air and surface deposit samples, and deliver a full report with findings and recommendations.
