"Cathodic Protection for Life Extension of New and Existing Concrete Structures"

Concrete is a durable building material that inspires architects and offers contractors opportunities to build faster and more efficiently. But concrete is also subject to aging, and sometimes damage can occur. To significantly extend the lifespan of new and repaired concrete structures, cathodic protection (RD) is one of the methods successfully used.
