Cathodic Protection

Just What is Cathodic Protection?

Cathodic protection systems are used to protect a wide range of metallic structures in various environments. The most common applications include:

• Water and fuel pipelines
• Storage tanks
• Ships and boats
• Offshore oil platforms
• Oil well casings
• CP use on Pipelines

Cathodic protection (CP) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathodic side of an electrochemical cell. The simplest method to apply CP is by connecting the metal to be protected with another more easily corroded metal to act as the anode of the electrochemical cell.

Cathodic protection can, in principle, be applied to any metallic structure in contact with a bulk electrolyte although in practice its main use is to protect steel structures buried in soil or immersed in water.

Cathodic protection is an important method of preventing corrosion on buried metal pipelines. Every pipeline operator must carry out regular measurements of CP – at transformer rectifiers and test points (in impressed current systems) and at sacrificial anodes (in galvanic systems).

Collecting and analyzing these CP measurements is labor-intensive, very expensive and (more importantly) they can only be reactive – CP problems can lie undetected for long periods, during which the pipeline is insufficiently protected.

Water Well Design

WildHeron’s professional and experienced personnel have extensive experience in siting and designing groundwater supply and production wells including design, permitting, and source water protection. We have the capabilities to design and drill test holes and small diameter monitoring wells to higher capacity production wells for a broad range of markets including:

During a well water design project, our clients can expect expert, and accurate water supply feasibility studies. Based on these studies, WildHeron’s personnel work to design and implement the right strategy for an efficient project. All parties involved in the project, including our clients, general contractors, and subcontractors, are over-communicated with making sure that the strategy desired is implemented effectively, and efficiently to deliver a project on time and within the project budget.

Water availability is dependent on aquifer characteristics of a specific location with production rates, quality, and long-term yield being key components of a water supply. Our focus on fieldwork allows us to direct observation of the geology of a given location. Whether in alluvial or bedrock settings, our experience allows specific well design to maximize production while minimizing cost.

Pump Installation

WildHeron can assist you in every facet of your water well pump installation. This may involve helping you determine what type of pump is best suited to your needs. Our experts have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to wells and can be a great resource to you. When determining what type of pump to install, we will consider the depth of the well, what type of budget you are working with, and the level of maintenance that will be required. Regardless of what we discover, you can rest assured that your needs will be met.

Water Storage Tanks

Water Storage System Installation, Repair, and Maintenance

Utilizing a water storage tank for your home, agriculture or livestock is crucial here in Northern California. It is essential to have a solution for providing a steady supply of water to your home, crops, and livestock, especially in the hot summer months, especially when there is a drought.

• Bladder Style Pressure Tanks
• Polyethylene Water Storage Tanks
• Drinking-Water Safe Storage Tank
• Complete installation and repair
• Water Storage float systems

Having a water storage tank installed will provide you with a constant supply of water, even in drought conditions! Not only that, but a water storage tank will extend the life of your well pump by not constantly running it to meet the demands of your home. A water storage tank can even supply water even if the power is out. It works by being a buffer for your well pump. It is when the pump kicks on and off that cause the most wear and tear. The storage tank will prevent your pump from cycling like this.
