Wireless Remote Monitoring of Cathodic Protection Systems

Wireless monitoring technologies provide the ability to acquire impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) s system performance data from remote locations using modem-equipped personal computers. The technology can monitor the remote ICCP system's amperage, instant-on and "instdnt-off" potentials in a central location, and provide personnel with immediate warnings of system problems. Case studies are presented for one Air Force and three Army installations, each with a different approach for the monitoring.
