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.
Infrastructure We Work On
• Light Rail Transit Systems
• Transmission and Distribution Pipelines
Our Team
All pipeline systems subject to electrical interference are different. Whether your project is a new build, routine maintenance, or even the event of rehabilitation, we’re happy to assist. Corrosion Service provides an exceptional level of partnership and support, ensuring your customized mitigation solutions are installed properly and operate effectively.
Branch offices operated by our talented and highly trained experts can be found across North America. These serve as a direct contact line for our clients, providing them with project management assistance, support, and dedicated field services. In collaboration with our Toronto engineering hub, you can also take advantage of our higher-level engineering and system design services. Not only that, but our entire engineering workforce is certified by the Association of Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP).
