Case Studies
Trout River Bridge
Jacksonville, Florida
Our Project: Design & installation of impressed current pile jacket cathodic projection system.
+90%
reduction in corrosion rate
Corrosion is a common problem facing bridges in marine environments. 3eplus provided cathodic protection specialist services associated with the Trout River Bridge in Jacksonville, Florida.
The cathodic protection system resulted in more than 90% reduction in corrosion rate based on electrochemical measurements obtained before and after cathodic protection system installation.
Florida Keys Energy
Monroe County, FL
Our Project: Design & installation of galvanic jacket cathodic projection system.
+90%
reduction in corrosion rate
3eplus was commissioned to address corrosion in the transmission structures of Florida Keys Energy. 3eplus designed the cathodic protection systems and provided quality control services during installation.
