The owner of underground metallic structures (gas pipeline, oil pipeline, water pipeline, etc) has a burden of responsibility for the corrosion protection in order to prevent big accidents like gas explosion, soil pollution, leakage and so on. So far, Cathodic Protection(CP) technology have been implemented for protection of underground systems. The stray current from DC subway system in Korea has affected the cathodic protection (CP) design of the buried pipelines adjacent to the railroads. In this aspect, KERI has developed a various mitigation method, drainage system through steel bar under the rail, a stray current gathering mesh system, insulation method between yard and main line, distributed ICCP(Impressed Current Cathodic System), High speed response rectifier, restrictive drainage system, Boding ICCP system. We installed the mitigation system at the real field and test of its efficiency in Busan and Seoul, Korea. In this paper, the results of field test, especially, distributed ICCP are described.

The galvanic corrosion of a vessel, or systems fitted to minimize the ship's corrosion such as ICCP (Impressed Current Cathodic Protection) system and sacrificial anodes, can lead to significant electrical current flow in the sea. The presence of vessel's current sources associated with corrosion will give rise to detectable electric field surrounding the vessel and can put it at risk from mine threats. For this reason, it is necessary to design corrosion protection systems so that they don't only prevent a hull corrosion but also minimize the electric field signature. In this paper, we describe theoretical backgrounds of underwater electric field signature due to corrosion and corrosion protection system on naval vessels and analysis results of the electric field according to the ship's hull and it's propeller coating damage and ICCP anode displacement.

Corrosion currents flow through the seawater due to the different electrochemical potential between a hull and a propeller under the draft line of ship. Additionally, in order to protect the hull and other sensitive anodic parts of the ship from corrosion, the corrosion protection system, called impressed current cathodic protection(ICCP) equipment has been installed in most naval ships. Those currents could be harmful to the electromagnetic silencing of the naval ship because sea mines are triggered by even a feeble field value. In this paper, we described electric and corrosion related magnetic fields by ship's galvanic corrosion and a corrosion protection system, and prediction results of electric and corrosion related magnetic fields at any depth for the model ship.

The underwater electromagnetic signatures of a naval ship are mainly generated from three sources which are the permanent and induced magnetic field in the ship's hull and other ferrous components, the cathodic current electromagnetic field established by the Impressed Current Cathodic Protection(ICCP) system or the Sacrificial Anode and the stray electromagnetic fields generated by onboard equipment. These signatures can be minimized by certain design methods or installation of signature reduction equipment. In this paper, we represented the characteristic of the underwater electromagnetic signature and the signature reduction techniques for a naval ship. Also, we measured the electromagnetic field changes emitted from the real ship using the Electric and Magnetic field Measurement System(EMMS). We found that the underwater electromagnetic signature for a naval ship can be used as input or trigger signal in a surveillance system and an influence mine.

Recently the interest in the reinforcing steel corrosion due to the use of sea-sand and deicing salt, marine environment, and carbonation in RC structures is increasing, therefore the studies on the corrosion control of reinforcing steel in concrete are vigorously proceeding. In this study, from the viewpoint of electrochemical process of steel corrosion in concrete we applied the impressed current system among the cathodic protections to reinforcing steel in concrete and ascertained the protection effect by half-cell potential, corrosion rate, and depolarization.

극한 염해환경에서 철근보강 지오폴리머 시험체의 외부전원법 전기방식 특성을 평가를 위하여 일련의 촉진실험을 실시하였다. 동시에 같은 조건의 보통 시멘트 콘크리트도 제조하여 비교 검토하였다. 환경조건은 침지대, 간만대, 그리고 크랙을 상정하였다. 지오폴리머는 밀실한 재료적 특성에 기인한 열화인자 침투 저항 증대에 의해 자연전위 뿐만 아니라 촉진 종료 후의 부식면적에서도 상당히 우수한 방식 성능이 있는 것으로 밝혀졌으며 향후 제작 양생 등의 문제를 개선함으로써 해양구조물로써의 활용이 다양해질 것으로 기대된다.

산업화, 도시화에 따라 관리 주체가 다른 지중 금속시설물들이 크게 늘고 있으며 이러한 시설물의 보호를 위한 전기방식법, 특히 외부전원법의 적용이 전기방식에 대한 인식의 확산과 더불어 크게 증가하고 있다. 그러나 시스템의 설치를 위한 공간 확보의 어려움과 더불어 시설물 상호간의 표류전류 간섭 문제가 개별 관리주체로서는 해결할 수 없는 현안이 되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 개별적으로 적용되던 전기방식 시스템 상호간의 간섭 사례를 현장 진단을 통하여 예시하고 이에 대한 대책으로 공용양극 외부전원 시스템을 설계, 현장 실증을 통하여 하나의 대안으로 제시하였다.

The national need to establish a new stray current mitigation method to protect the underground metallic infrastructures in congested downtown area forced us to design and develop the distributed impressed current cathodic protection (DICCP) system. The main purpose of this system is to replace the stray current drainage bond methods, which is widely adopted by pipeline owners in Korea. Currently, forced drainage makes up about 85% of total drainage facilities installed in Korea because polarized drainage can neither drain perfectly the stray currents during normal operation of electric vehicle nor drain the reverse current during regenerative braking at all. The forced drainage, however, has been abused as an alternative cathodic protection system, which impresses currents from rails to the pipelines and accordingly uses the rails as anodes. As a result, it is necessary to consider a new method to both cathodically protect the pipelines and effectively drain the stray currents. In this paper, we describe the design parameters and installation schemes of DICCP system that can meet these demands.
