Cathodic protection (CP) is the only recognized technique for arresting ongoing corrosion of conventional mild reinforcing steel in concrete. This paper discusses the present state of knowledge regarding the applicability of this technology to prestressing steel. Practical and technical issues to consider in selecting a CP system for prestressed concrete bridge pilings in a marine environment are discussed. The design parameters for the first full scale installation of CP on over 170 prestressed concrete bridge pilings in a marine environment are presented. Performance data obtained on the selected CP system from other small scale installations are also presented.
