ABSTRACT
Although Cathodic Protection (CP) systems for above ground structures have been used for over 30 years in Australia many designers and contractors involved in small to medium sized concrete repair projects consider it a complex and expensive method and give it no consideration for projects they manage. Hence on many projects no consideration is given to the life cycle cost savings, better structural outcome or improved performance and repair reliability that cathodic protection can provide. The paper provides some insight into these benefits.
