CP Well Abandonment

MATCOR provides cathodic protection well abandonment services for anode ground beds from 150' to 1,000' deep. Our team properly decommissions and seals abandoned CP wells to meet state groundwater protection regulations.

MATCOR provides cathodic protection well abandonment for anode ground beds from 150’ to 1000’.

Due to risks of groundwater contamination, many states have passed cathodic protection well regulations to ensure proper decommissioning. The three basic steps include:

Removing the deep anode ground bed surface materials
Drilling into the old cathodic protection borehole
Filling and sealing the borehole with either Bentonite or cement

Durammo Deep Anode System

Durammo® is MATCOR’s factory-assembled, ready-to-install deep anode system for cathodic protection of pipelines, wells, and buried infrastructure. Nearly 10,000 systems have logged over 200 million hours, featuring MMO anodes, patented Kynex® connections, and Kynar® cables.

The MITIGATOR

The MITIGATOR® is the industry’s only engineered AC mitigation system to combat the corrosive effects of alternating current (AC) on pipelines, combining performance with greater ease of installation and lower cost. Providing superior performance over bare copper and zinc for AC grounding and mitigation, this system is based on MATCOR’s SPL™-Anode manufacturing technology. It is a packaged grounding system that combines the best of copper grounding with low resistance, corrosion-inhibiting backfill.

AC DC Coupon Test Stations

Where AC corrosion is a threat, monitoring must shift from polarization measurements to current density measurements—and that requires coupon test stations. MATCOR supplies AC/DC coupon test stations with dedicated AC and DC current density coupons, ensuring localized conditions don’t create AC corrosion risk that standard test stations can’t detect.

Cathodic Protection Rectifiers

MATCOR rectifiers come standard with features that are only available as options on some competing rectifiers. Every part of a MATCOR rectifier is covered by our two-year guarantee, and the transformer comes with an industry leading five-year warranty.
