Cathodic Protection - Impact of Increased Electrical Transmission Loads

 View Only
last person joined: yesterday 

The Cathodic Protection - Impact of Increased Electrical Transmission Loads TCI will address challenges from increased transmission loads on pipelines in shared rights-of-way due to reconductoring, new substations, and advanced technologies. The TCI will foster collaboration among stakeholders to develop best practices and guidance, raise awareness, and mitigate risks like AC corrosion and induced currents, while staying ahead of emerging trends impacting pipeline integrity.

New upload to Library - DRAFT - Impact of Increase Electrical Transmission Loads on Pipeline - Industry Notice

  • 1.  New upload to Library - DRAFT - Impact of Increase Electrical Transmission Loads on Pipeline - Industry Notice

    Hello, everyone,

    I have uploaded a draft of the "one-pager" document that a Jim Warner and a group of operators have been drawing up that explains to stakeholders concerns related to AC interference. They have gotten it to the point where they want feedback, so if you could please take some time to download, review, and offer feedback on it, we would greatly appreciate it. 

    You can find the document under Library > Documents, and I have attached it for your convenience. If you have issues accessing it, please let me know.

    Best regards,

    Thank you, Everett. This is long overdue and a great start. The "call to action" seems very logical as a first step, and in particular, the engagement between pipeline operators and power companies will be key to any success here. The advisory bulletin referenced will help, but until there is policy and requirement to inform and mitigate against any reconductoring, I fear that this challenge may continue. Look forward to next steps.
