Paradise Electric designed the cathodic protection system of the jetty “Sarafovo” in Burgas city, Bulgaria.
Paradise Electric has designed the cathodic protection system at the fishing port "Sarafovo" in the city of Burgas, the company announced. For the construction of the port installation is provided a large number of metal structures with surface over 17 500 m2. They will be under water and this makes them very vulnerable to the corrosion caused by the seawater. The project is expected to include installation of a cathodic protection system with an external power via rectifier blocks and installation on the bottom of disperse sledge with special anodes made of titanium electrodes MMO. The proposed system has a life expectance of between 20 and 25 years, and low installation costs. It can be mounted after the installation of feathering piles into the water, without being attached to them. The use of the cathodic protection system with an external power supply ensures that at any change in the electrolytes (high and low tides, surf, temperature, etc.), the system can be automatically self-corrected.
“For the implementation of this project, we were commissioned by the Euro Alliance Geotechnics SA based on the following data: a plan with a drawing of all featherings, depth of the submerged and the buried part of the featherings, depth of the seabed along the shoreline, level of the high and low tides, sea flow and maritime traffic and salinity of the sea water, etc.”
