Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Engineer who uses electrochemical methods to prevent and control corrosion of metal structures such as piping and tanks. A profession responsible from design to construction and maintenance management.
Description
Electrical corrosion protection engineers are specialists who design, construct, and operate systems using electrochemical methods such as cathodic protection, anode installation, potential and current measurements to prevent corrosion of metal structures. They evaluate corrosion risks in various environments such as seawater-buried piping, tanks, bridges, and underground structures, perform material selection, and optimize protection systems. Through on-site investigations, construction management, periodic monitoring, and maintenance, they ensure long-term corrosion resistance and are required to comply with relevant laws and safety standards.
Future Outlook
With the aging of infrastructure, demand for corrosion protection will remain stable. As attention to preventive maintenance increases, demand for highly specialized engineers will be maintained and expanded.
