Design Iron Gopher as you would any SPL™-Anode and be sure to specify the Standard Model or Dual End Model. The Standard Model is used for most cathodic protection applications such as roads, streams and property crossings. The Dual End Model is useful for undertank applications or anywhere it is not possible to connect to both ends of the linear anode.If you need assistance, MATCOR engineers can handle your complete Iron Gopher Linear Anode cathodic protection system design, from data collection to complete design drawings and specifications. However, if you have linear anode system design capability, Iron Gopher is easy to design and use.
The Iron Gopher linear anode is factory assembled and ready to install. Simply attach the linear anode to the HDD reamer with Iron Gopher’s integrated pulling loop, and pull through the hole with confidence that the strongest linear anode is in place for the best HDD cathodic protection.
