Abstract :
As our country grows and its engineers develop new concepts and materials to prolong the life of buried metallic structures, we all should be aware and ready to reap the benefits. With the ever increasing development and use of underground structures, the chances of electrolytic corrosion causing damage also increases. The application of cathodic protection with rectifier installations is becoming more economical and popular with the larger underground users. This technique need not cause stray current damage to other underground structures if adequate coordination is available to all underground users.
