Cathodic protection (CP) and periodic internal inspection are two methods available for managing soil-side corrosion problems on aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). A study of the feasibility of cathodically protecting up to 120 tanks was conducted. The corrosiveness of the environment and feasibility of the work was determined by conducting current drainage tests on representative tanks. There was little correlation between properties of the bulk foundation or surrounding soil and soil-side corrosion. Extending the intervals between internal inspections was found to economically justify the application of CP.
