Rust busters

By: Language: English Series: Contract Journal ; 432(6562) 15 February 2006, 28-29(2)Publication details: 2006Subject(s): Summary: Reports on the use of Cathodic Protection (CP) to reverse rusting in steel-framed buildings. The technique involves the installation of artificial anodes which effectively turns the steel into a cathode and renders it immune from further corrosion. CP is both less expensive and intrusive than other methods, and a series of seminars is being held at the RICS to raise awareness of the technique among surveyors who manage buildings.
