Rethinking cathodic corrosion protection KKS

KKS – for whom?

Are you a civil engineer or architect planning the construction or repair of bridges or tunnels? Or are you a real estate manager and operate an underground parking garage?

Are you familiar with the “spectre of corrosion” and want to prevent it or already have to tackle it? Of course, the whole process should be carried out with the least possible disruption to the structure, with minimal downtime and closures. Cathodic corrosion protection solves your problems.

KKS explains

Cathodic corrosion protection is a process in which a metal is protected against corrosion by forcing it to undergo a cathodic reaction.

By using an external power source, the metal is turned into a negative pole (cathode), which protects it from corrosion. This is done by shifting the corrosion potential of the metal to a lower level, which slows down or even stops the corrosion process. The use of this protective measure can extend the service life of the structure and ensure protection against corrosion.

KKS is often used for metal structures that are in a corrosive environment. The huge advantage of KKS is the minimal intervention in the structure, monitoring from outside and the elimination of supports and reduction of downtimes and closures.
