Remote Monitoring

Remote Monitoring equipment is used to monitor Cathodic Protection Systems, gathering data and providing valuable information for CP System management. RMU’s are
generally installed near a Cathodic Protection Rectifier but can also be installed at critical structure-to-soil potential test stations, depending on the application requirements.

  • The Remote Monitoring Unit provides remote monitoring and control of the Rectifier Unit.
  • This Monitoring Unit uses GSM and GPRS to navigate & monitor corrosion around pipelines and tank structures.
  • This enables personnel to request and collect Cathodic Protection performance information from any location around the world using cellular networks.
  • Personnel no longer need to travel to a site, not only is this ideal in that it saves time and travel expenses but it can also be beneficial where sites are not easily accessible.
  • The RMU does not only measure the performance of the Cathodic Protection System, it can also pick up any faults that might occur so that they can be repaired quickly.
