Repair and replacement of sacrificial magnesium cathodic protection anodes that have exceeded their lifespan. The existing anodes protect pre-fabricated Perma-Pipe service pipes that extend from the main facility to each housing unit and return to the main facility.

Underground utility locations provided are approximate and must be verified in the field by the contractor. The contractor is responsible for locating utilities within the project corridor before starting construction. Any damage to underground utilities resulting from construction activities must be repaired at no extra cost to the owner.

A minimum negative (cathodic) polarization voltage shift of 100 mV must be measured between the structure surface and a stable reference electrode in contact with the electrolyte.

The ground surface must be replaced to match its original form. Upon completion of Cathodic Protection Repair, before removal of equipment and scaffolding, contractor is to schedule a quality control and quality assurance inspection with the Maintenance Supervisor.
