TY - SER AU - Schramuk,Jeff AU - Johnson,Mark TI - Protecting an existing ductile iron water main using linear anodes PY - 2008/// CY - PB - KW - Anodo N2 - 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 ER -
