Cathodic corrosion protection (CCP) - self-sufficient and online monitored
For almost 3 years we are monitoring the function of a KKS system, which protects the reinforcement of a bridge console against further progressing corrosion.
A great simplification of this application is that the cathodic corrosion protection (with zinc hydrogel foil, explanation in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_protection ) and our monitoring unit are self-sufficient – i.e., both do not need a fixed power suppl...
5.6 million measured values with first generation nodes!
Our self-sufficient moisture and temperature measurements for modeling chloride transport in concrete have been running for over three years! 🎉
As part of the Candice project with Fritz Binder (ASFiNAG), the first generation nodes are in use here. They brave the harsh conditions - several times a year, nodes and sensors are hosed down by a steam jet at 120 bar during tunnel washing. But the first generation works without any problems and ...
