AC Interference Mitigation
Stray Current AC Interference
AC Interference Mitigation: Reducing corrosion risk and ensuring safety on pipeline infrastructure near high voltage power lines and in shared corridors
It’s no secret that finding space to construct the new pipeline infrastructure needed to meet today’s growing energy demand is becoming increasingly difficult. That’s why existing high-voltage overhead power line corridors are attractive options for shared right of way. Pipelines buried near power lines are subject to electromagnetic-induced AC current, causing potential shock hazards for the public or personnel and raising the risk of AC corrosion.
Corrosion Service specializes in identifying and addressing AC interference on pipelines. In conjunction with the most advanced modeling software, we can provide industry-leading stray current AC mitigation system designs. These improve safety and reduce the potential of corrosion, mitigate safety risks, and eliminate harmful AC interference.
Infrastructure We Work On
• Transmission and Distribution Pipelines
• Facility Pipelines
• Railways
Our Team
All pipeline systems subject to AC interference are different, regardless of whether the project is a new build, rehabilitation, or routine maintenance. Our talented team approaches each job in a unique, calculated, and proactive manner. Corrosion Service strives to provide the extremely high level of support and partnership to provide the customized solutions that our clients require on a daily basis.
