Asset Overview Cleveland Water has an extensive network of impressed current cathodic protection assets, working to mitigate corrosion on nearly 24 miles of transmission mains and over 80 million gallons of potable water
Transmission Mains (5 ICCP Lines)CWD currently has approximately 24 miles of ICCP transmission mains.
Within the distribution network, five individual ICCP systems protect five separate mains:
• Brookpark 36” Main
• Lake Ave. 36” Main
• North Park 48” Main
• South Belvoir 48” Main
• Twin 60s 2-60” & 1-48” Mains
Tanks & Towers (24 Sites)CWD currently has 24 tanks with ICCP systems providing automatically controlled cathodic prevention. ICCP systems protect:
• 12 towers
• Three surge tanks
• Four wash tanks
• Five ground tanks
Rectifiers
Currently operate 50 rectifiers across five transmission mains:• Brookpark: 4• Lake Avenue: 7• North Park: 5 • South Belvoir: 7• Twin 60s: 25• Miscellaneous: 2
Currently operate 24 rectifiers on tanks and towers:• Towers: 12• Surge Tanks: 3• Ground Tanks: 5• Wash Tanks: 4

LIVE POLL QUESTION #1
Does your organization currently utilize cathodic protection design guidelines in water main installation projects?
a) Yes, generally across all water main projectsb) Yes, however only on an ad-hoc basisc) No, cathodic protection design is often neglected
Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP): Transmission Mains
• Advantages• Reliable performance in high soil resistivity
environments• Satisfies high current demands• Variable current controls
• Disadvantages• Stray current concerns• High operating & maintenance costs
ICCP Systems• Principles of Operation:
• Same as GACP• External power supply is used to drive current
demands
• System is monitored via a network of test stations, with direct electrical connections to the main

Design Guidelines Overview
Controlling External Corrosion
• Material Selection
• Corrosion Inhibitors
• Coatings and Linings
• Cathodic Protection
What are the options?
• Analyzing Conditions
• Optimizing Methods
• Determining Costs
Where do we begin?
Implementing quantitative measures to provide consistent design guidelines for cathodic protection implementation:
1. Likelihood of Corrosion (LoC)
2. Consequence of Failure (CoF)
Likelihood of Corrosion Factors (LoC)
• Point-rated scales for each parameter with total available points ranging 0-50
• Provides framework for uniform soil sampling and analysis
• ASTM Standardization is required for uniform analysis
• Stray Current Analysis complements this process• Severe • Moderate• No Exposure
Soil Corrosivity Rating
Required Field Data
• pH (ASTM G51)• Measurements shall be collected by jar sampling nearest the
proposed pipe depth
• Soil Resistivity (ASTM G57, ASTM G187)• Soil borings shall be collected nearest the proposed pipe depth
• Redox Potential (ASTM D1498)• Measurements shall be collected by jar sampling nearest the
proposed pipe depth
• Soil Type • Soil classification(s) and groundwater level shall be determined
nearest the proposed pipe depth and alignment
• Chloride Content (ASTM D512)• Water soluble chloride content shall be determined by chloride
ion extraction using acceptable industry methodology prior to testing.
Soil Condition Analysis
CONSEQUENCE OF FAILURE
Consequences of Failure (CoF) are critical factors relating to operational reliability, maintainability, and subsequent effects on the distribution system
Four Critical ParametersPoint-rated scales for each parameter with total available points ranging 4-50
I. Pipe Diameter
II. Storage and/or Redundancy
III. Reparability
IV. Consequence to Distribution
Defining Subjective Ranges
