DC Interference Mitigation

Stray Current DC Interference

DC Interference Mitigation: Reducing corrosion risk on pipeline infrastructure near DC rail networks and in shared corridors

Stray current DC transit/rail systems and cathodic protection interference is the result of unwanted or uncontrolled stray DC currents flowing onto and off pipelines or other buried metallic structures, resulting in aggressive and localized corrosion. These stray currents can come from foreign cathodic protection systems and the operation of DC transit/rail systems.

The Corrosion Service team is highly experienced in mitigating electrical interference on pipelines. We provide best-in-class stray current DC mitigation solutions. That way, your organization can safely and efficiently manage the integrity risk posed by aggressive stray current DC interference.
