Lightning Protection

Cathodic Protection

What We Offer

Impressed current cathodic protection solutions that offer an entirely new technology for cathodic protection and anode bed functionality, with the potential to redefine CP best practices:

  • Impressed current CP systems that utilize electronic energy transfer in the anode bed, rather than electrolytic energy transfer, reducing gas byproducts (thus eliminating the vent pipe), and significantly improving anode performance and functional lifetime

  • CP systems that comply with exacting environmental regulations that eliminate both cross aquifer contamination and long term abandonment liability concerns

  • The innovative EnvirAnode anode element, the heart of the SAE CP systems, is built using an industry standard metal oxide (MMO), surrounded by a specially formulated protective compound that enhances electronic energy transfer, while protecting the core against water penetration and corrosion

  • The EnvirAnode elements are encased in a second, specially formulated backfill compound that creates a system completely sealed against water penetration and aquifer cross contamination, and that enables the electronic transfer of energy into the soil with minimal gas byproducts or material degradation

  • CP systems that are deployed using industry standard installation techniques and practices

  • Engineering and design of CP systems to client specifications

  • Installation and project management services for the deployment of CP systems, wherever they are needed

  • An installed base throughout the United States and Canada

How You Benefit

SAE impressed current cathodic protection systems provide important performance and financial benefits to operators and help to safeguard the environment with:

  • Higher operating performance

  • An effective CP lifetime doubled to 40 years, thus halving replacement costs

  • Significant reduction in operating, maintenance and inspection costs for improved bottom line financials

  • Greater deployment flexibility, as our systems can be safely and effectively utilized in deep anode beds where aquifer contamination is a major environmental concern

  • Approved for use by environmental regulatory agencies and meets landowner concerns

  • Significantly lower abandonment costs and liability issues

  • Reduced project delivery risk and better project visibility when using SAE project services
