Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on corrosion engineering and cathodic protection in good years and paid for in bad ones. Plans for cathodic protection often fail at the handover point between functions. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the engineering and maintenance work discipline, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The programme converts corrosion engineering and cathodic protection from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this area of engineering and maintenance work and revise it on evidence. The most reliable predictor of sound cathodic protection is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The programme suits teams tackling corrosion engineering and cathodic protection together as readily as individuals attending alone. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to cathodic protection that would make a visible difference.

04

Investigate repeat failures on cathodic protection to root cause.

05

Specify acceptance criteria for work performed on corrosion engineering and cathodic protection.

06

Build the inspection and test plan covering cathodic protection.

07

Measure maintenance performance on corrosion engineering and cathodic protection with indicators that drive behaviour.

Course Modules

01

Corrosion engineering and cathodic protection: history, documentation and competence

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Reviewing corrosion engineering and cathodic protection when nothing has gone wrong

  • Build the competence framework that supports corrosion engineering and cathodic protection.
  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on cathodic protection.
  • Reduce the variation in how corrosion engineering and cathodic protection is carried out between teams.
  • List the credible failure modes of cathodic protection and the consequence of each.

Session 2Building lasting competence in cathodic protection

  • Set out the decisions in corrosion engineering and cathodic protection that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Check that cathodic protection still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Assign a criticality rating to corrosion engineering and cathodic protection that drives work order priority.
  • Investigate repeat failures on cathodic protection to root cause, not to component.
02

Cathodic protection: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Planning work on cathodic protection so it does not become reactive

  • Benchmark the organisation's corrosion engineering and cathodic protection against comparable operations.
  • Set maintenance indicators for cathodic protection that reward planning rather than heroics.
  • Define acceptance criteria for completed work on corrosion engineering and cathodic protection.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for cathodic protection.

Session 2Maintenance indicators for cathodic protection that change behaviour

  • Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for corrosion engineering and cathodic protection.
  • Establish the boundary of cathodic protection and record what sits outside it.
  • Identify where judgement in corrosion engineering and cathodic protection is legitimate and where it is not.
  • Anticipate the objections cathodic protection will raise and prepare the answers.
03

Cathodic protection: failure modes, consequence and criticality

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Choosing a maintenance strategy for cathodic protection on evidence

  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in corrosion engineering and cathodic protection.
  • Verify six months later that changes to cathodic protection have held.
  • Set out how exceptions to corrosion engineering and cathodic protection are requested and approved.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to cathodic protection.

Session 2Investigating the failure on corrosion engineering and cathodic protection that keeps returning

  • Name a single owner for each element of corrosion engineering and cathodic protection.
  • Confirm that reporting on cathodic protection reaches the people who can act.
  • Identify single points of dependency in corrosion engineering and cathodic protection and reduce them.
  • Arrange the handover of cathodic protection so capability survives staff changes.
04

Cathodic protection: safe isolation and permit control

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Keeping cathodic protection alive after the initial push

  • Review whether corrosion engineering and cathodic protection is aligned with the objectives of the asset base.
  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about cathodic protection.
  • Choose the maintenance strategy for corrosion engineering and cathodic protection based on failure pattern, not tradition.
  • Close out actions on cathodic protection rather than leaving them open indefinitely.

Session 2Isolating cathodic protection safely before work begins

  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for corrosion engineering and cathodic protection.
  • Map the handovers in cathodic protection between functions and secure them.
  • Check that records of corrosion engineering and cathodic protection answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to cathodic protection will be introduced.
