The outside of the TEII steel systems are painted with
suitable paint for the application. To minimize corrosion from acid soil, sacrificial
magnesium anodes are buried in the ground approximately ten feet from the metal plant. It
shall be attached to the system with a copper wire. During the construction, proper
installation of the anodes is critical. Allowing enough slack in the copper wire so that
it will not break during backfilling is important.
Cathodic Protection
with magnesium anode packages are supplied with all below ground installations of all
prefabricated steel systems.
