Enhancing High-Rise Longevity: The Power of Cathodic Protection. Published in ACA's Corrosion & Materials – April 2025 Edition

We are pleased to share that Samir Cheytani of Remedial Technology has had a technical case study published in the April 2025 issue of the Australasian Corrosion Association’s journal, Corrosion & Materials (Vol 46, No. 2).

Titled “Enhancing High-Rise Longevity: The Power of Cathodic Protection,” the article explores the application of a hybrid cathodic protection approach—utilising both impressed current (ICCP) and galvanic anode systems—to address corrosion challenges in a high-rise concrete structure.

The case study focuses on a retrofit project designed to mitigate reinforcement corrosion while accounting for the specific performance, maintenance, and access requirements of the building. Key highlights from the article include:

• A comprehensive assessment of corrosion risks and structural condition

• Strategic implementation of ICCP and galvanic anode systems for targeted protection

• Integration of remote monitoring capabilities for ongoing performance management

• Significant improvements in durability and corrosion control outcomes

  
  

Samir’s work illustrates how tailored CP system design—combined with modern monitoring technologies—can deliver effective, long-term protection for complex building assets.

We congratulate Samir on this important contribution to the field of corrosion mitigation and structural asset preservation.
