Summer changes what’s happening beneath the surface.
Higher temperatures, drier soil conditions and increased power demand can all affect corrosion control considerations. And vacations, field schedules and weather can shift timelines above ground.
When your team is ready to move, the right materials need to be ready, too.
Now is a good time to review your anode inventory, look ahead at upcoming CP work and make sure you have the materials on hand to help keep projects on schedule.
Summer's Coming. Corrosion Doesn't Take a Season Off.
Summer is around the corner and while the weather shifts above ground, what’s happening beneath the surface never stops. Changing soil conditions can influence corrosion activity and CP performance, which is why now is a good time for a quick check-in. In this issue of the Farwest Current: a new Expert Tip, Waterworks + ACE26 updates, a Houston location move, a new off-grid power partnership and an anode inventory spotlight.

During a typical cathodic protection (CP) field survey, the CP technician must make effective electrical connections to the structure under test and other metallic components.
Often, the technician will encounter an existing above-ground test station where a conductor (cable) is permanently attached to the structure under test and the other end is terminated to the test station panel. In this case, the connection to the structure is already made and is typically effective.
