CCE is one of the many companies presenting and exhibiting at Corrosion and Prevention 2017 in Sydney this year. Between November 12-15, the International Convention Centre will be the venue for a 72-booth trade exhibition and a conference featuring six plenary speakers and more than 100 papers covering the very latest in corrosion research, prevention and management NORD Drivesystems (AU) Pty Ltd 18 Stoney Way, Derrimut , Victoria 3030 Australia Phone: +61 3 9394 0500 Fax: +61 3 9394 1525 www.nord.com.au National Customer Service 1300 00 NORD (6673) au-sales@nord.com Member of the NORD DRIVESYSTEMS Group effects of current flow and railways in Melbourne and Sydney because all the trains are DC. In Queensland, the trains run on AC power which doesn't interfere with pipelines in the same manner. Electricity flows from the catenary wires to the train motors then back along the rails. However, some current strays from the rails into the earth which can flow onto a buried pipeline, or some other structure, near the track and then out again, overriding the CP system. Modern controls for the CP are constantly monitored and adjust the output to mitigate the effect of fluctuations caused by stray traction current “The latest telemetry and data logging equipment is now integral to our projects,” says Mr Dragar. He adds that Jemena has worked closely with train and tram operators for many years to ensure there is minimal disruption to its CP systems from new light rail lines being built in Sydney. All asset owners must ensure their systems do not interfere with other organisations metallic infrastructure. The CP systems being installed by Jemena near train and tram lines are Transformer Rectifier Assisted Drainage units, which monitor the voltage on the pipeline and return stray current back to the railway line. CCE is a leading company developing and implementing innovative solutions to support pipeline integrity, surveillance and corrosion mitigation activities. “An essential part of any work involving cathodic protection and quantifying the effects of activities around buried pipelines is to ensure that accurate and timely baseline data is recorded,” says Mr Galanos. While there may be a lot of historical data associated with the installation and operation of an existing pipeline, the most recent data and information is critical. “The above recordings and reports must all be produced during the time that any new projects are proposed or announced, as they will provide the most up to date information and data which can be used as a baseline.” The latest CP systems used to replace those on ageing pipelines have substantial improvements on earlier systems. “There have been a number of advances that allow significant improvement in the monitoring and control of CP systems,” Mr Martin adds.
