Cassette Used (m)
The Ben Franklin Bridge rehabilitation project included the installation of approximately 5,000 meters (16,400 feet) of Cassette ICCP anode within the anchorage houses on both the Pennsylvania and New Jersey sides of the bridge. These areas had experienced corrosion-related deterioration of reinforced concrete due to long-term exposure to a harsh urban and marine-influenced environment. The Cassette impressed current cathodic protection system was installed to mitigate ongoing corrosion of embedded reinforcing steel and extend the service life of these critical structural components. The system is operated and monitored using Camur III cloud-based operation and monitoring platform, allowing engineers to remotely monitor performance to ensure optimal long-term corrosion protection.
The Cassette ICCP system was specified by the project engineer due to its surface-mounted configuration, which allows for efficient installation on existing concrete substrates while minimizing invasive work to the structure. NoCo supplied the cathodic protection system materials in accordance with the corrosion engineer’s design, supporting implementation of the impressed current system within the bridge anchorage houses.
The Cassette system is integrated with the Camur III operation and monitoring platform, enabling remote monitoring and adjustment of system performance to maintain optimal cathodic protection criteria. The system is designed to significantly extend the service life of the structure while reducing the likelihood of future corrosion-related repairs for decades.
