The objectives of the research were (1) to develop reliable measurement techniques to assess the level of cathodic protection (CP) in stray current areas, (2) to develop reliable CP criteria in the presence of stray currents, and (3) to identify and assess procedures used to mitigate any deleterious effects of the stray currents. The scope of the effort focused on the review of existing technology for the criteria, measurement techniques, and mitigation procedures. In addition, new technologies for pipeline monitoring were developed. Assessment of the new and existing technologies was conducted...

The scope of the effort focused on the review of existing technology for the criteria, measurement techniques, and mitigation procedures. In addition, new technologies for pipeline monitoring were developed. Assessment of the new and existing technologies was conducted in both field and laboratory evaluations.
