ICCP Steel Pile Corrosion Protection Program, Melbourne
ICCP Steel Pile Corrosion Protection Program, Melbourne
Spanning seven separate sites within the Port of Melbourne area, this design and construct project was undertaken for the Port of Melbourne Corporation (PoM). It was part of their program to minimise accelerated low water corrosion (ALWC) of steel piles that form part of wharves and piers.
ALWC is a type of microbial induced corrosion of submerged steel elements in marine and brackish water environments. ALWC can result in local rapid loss of steel cross section that can impact the structural strength of steel sheet piling, circular steel piles and other steel substructure elements.
The project involved the design, installation and commissioning of an impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system to each of the seven sites.
