life ribbon and high voltage power lines
Grounding for AC mitigation on pipelines in high voltage transmission right-of-ways.
Grounding for AC mitigation on pipelines in high voltage transmission right-of-ways.
High Voltage Power Lines and pipelines often need to travel on similar paths. They frequently share the right of way and are in close proximity for significant distances. On well coated or insulated pipelines this can result in induced voltages, which can be a serious safety concern if not properly addressed. Induced voltages on the pipeline must be discharged and allowed a safe path to ground to avoid safety issues.
Life Ribbon is used to provide effective, low resistance grounding along the length of pipeline. This helps reduce induced voltages to safe levels. In addition, Life Ribbon is an effective galvanic anode that can be used to provide cathodic protection for pipelines and other structures in corrosive environments.
Life Ribbon is compatible with ZincMatTM and the technologies can used together to provide optimum AC mitigation and corrosion protection.
ZincMatTM can be used as a gradient control mat or as a cathodic protection anode. Click on the graphics below to learn more about how ZincMatTM can solve your safety and corrosion problems.
