Protecting an existing ductile iron water main using linear anodes

A Wisconsin water utility has implemented a demonstration project using horizontal diretional drilling equipment to install a continuous linear anode directly alongside an existing water main that has experienced significant external pitting corrosion. The results of the initial demonstration project suggest that a 40-year life extension of the water main may be achievable at a cos that is significantly less than the replacement costo of the pipe.
