The development of On-Line Cathodic Protection Monitoring System

지중 금속구조물의 전기방식 원격감시시스템 개발

These days, corrosion condition of a underground objects is measured by the electric potential between the subject and ground. But this method is implemented by means of manual work with analog voltmeter, which is uneconomic and inefficient. So, We developed real-time On-Line cathodic protection monitoring system that is able to detect corrosion potential conditions of metal objects or various steel structures in the ground continuously, display them with the graphic screen, construct a database, and analyze them simultaneously. Since the data of corrosion and corrosion protection of all underground objects is processed automatically, not manually in this system, It is possible to reduce the manipulated error, and perform precise safety management, maintenance and inspection. As as result, this system can not only guarantee long-life operation, reduction of manpower and cost, but prevent large accidents in advance.
