Extend pipeline lifespan and save inspection hours with cathodic protection monitoring
Want to keep your pipeline infrastructure protected in a time and cost-efficient way?
Digitize monitoring with Withthegrid’s cathodic protection (CP) monitoring solution.
Why remote monitoring of cathodic protection systems?
Ensuring the longevity and integrity of buried pipelines is challenging. Kilometers of metallic pipelines are constantly threatened by corrosion from surrounding soil and electrical interactions with nearby infrastructure. While coatings and inhibitors are commonly used, many asset managers are turning to cathodic protection (CP) systems as a secondary measure. However, traditional monitoring methods are
Withthegrid’s solution
Optimize corrosion protection
Identify potential corrosion threats through remote monitoring and ensure that your CP is operating in the optimal range for asset protection.
Reduce physical inspections
Minimize the need for manual inspections, saving operational time and inspection costs.
Unlock predictive maintenance
Transition from preventive, time-based monitoring to condition-based monitoring with continuous measurements.
Extend asset lifespan
Assess and manage the degradation of pipelines and make informed decisions to extend their service life.
Meet the Withthegrid’s solution:
Your end-to-end solution for cathodic protection monitoring
Easy-to-install devices combined with a powerful IoT platform that manages connectivity and converts the data directly into actionable insights.
IoT Devices
Easy-to-install devices: CP analog rectifiers, CP poles, Amstel rectifiers
IoT Platform
Withthegrid’s Asset Monitoring Platform: connect the devices to the platform, translate data into visualizations and anomalies, monitor asset performance and keep track of issues.
Key features:
Automated anomaly detection :
Detect where your cathodic protection is not functioning and generate issues based on the predefined thresholds. No manual analysis required.
Continuous insights:
Have (near) real-time insights into the state of the cathodic protection of your pipeline assets.
Flexible data integration possibilities:
Use the AMP as a stand-alone SaaS solution, fully integrate it into your own IT systems, or combine both.
Cybersecure by design:
Rest easy knowing your data is protected – ISO27001 certified, ENCS compliant setup, PKI encrypted data and communication, certificates and firmware management. Withthegrid digitizes CP from the sensor to the monitoring in a cybersecure manner.
