GACP vs. ICCP - Which Cathodic Protection System is Right for my Project?

Corrosion is a primary concern for pipelines as it can cause significant damage to the pipeline structure and potentially lead to leaks, which can be costly to repair and environmentally harmful. Cathodic protection (CP) systems help minimize the risk of pipeline leaks and damage by providing protection from potential corrosion issues. Often, the first decision the design engineer, owner, and operator of a pipeline needs to make after determining whether the soil is corrosive is whether to use a Galvanic Anode Cathodic Protection (GACP) or an Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) system.

How do you know which cathodic protection system is suitable for your project?
