CATHODIC PROTECTION
Design, Installation Oversight, and Long-Term Monitoring by AMPP-Certified Specialists
Cathodic protection (CP) is one of the most effective tools available for extending the service life of buried and submerged metal infrastructure, but only when it's designed correctly, installed properly, and monitored over time. Infinity Corrosion Group draws on more than 50 years of combined cathodic protection experience to design and support CP systems for water and wastewater utilities, transit agencies, pipeline operators, and industrial and government clients across the Mountain West.
Our work is led by an AMPP-certified Cathodic Protection Specialists, with all designs stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer.
What We Do
ICG provides full-lifecycle cathodic protection services, from initial design through commissioning, annual monitoring, and troubleshooting. We work directly with owners and design engineers to build systems that meet regulatory requirements, fit the realities of the site, and stay maintainable over decades of service.
What is Cathodic Protection?
Cathodic protection is an electrochemical technique used to prevent the corrosion of metal surfaces. By applying a small electrical current to a buried or submerged metallic structure, either through sacrificial galvanic anodes or an externally powered impressed current system, the metal is forced to act as a cathode in the electrochemical reaction. This halts or dramatically slows corrosion.
In practice, CP is almost always used in combination with a high-quality protective coating. The coating does the bulk of the work, and the CP system protects any small holidays, defects, or coating damage that develops over time. When these two systems work together, the service life of pipelines, tanks, and other buried infrastructure can be extended by decades.

Why is Matters?
For most owners, the cost of a properly designed cathodic protection system is a small fraction of the cost of replacing the asset it protects. A poorly designed or inadequately monitored system, on the other hand, can give the false impression of protection while corrosion continues underneath. The result is unexpected failures, regulatory exposure, and replacement costs that dwarf what proper engineering would have cost up front.
ICG works closely with owners to design CP systems that are right-sized, well-documented, and maintainable. We don't oversell hardware, and we don't disappear after commissioning. We partner with our clients for the long-term operation of the systems we design.
