Metals in the ground, in water, or in concrete? Without cathodic protection, they corrode. This poses a risk of leaks, failures, and high repair costs due to rust formation.
For over 30 years, Anotec has offered reliable solutions in the field of cathodic protection – from materials and installations to professional advice. We help you to protect metal structures and reinforced concrete sustainably against corrosion and to significantly extend their lifespan — both in industrial applications and for private projects.
When chlorides attack steel, anodic zones form: places where current flows and corrosion occurs. Other parts that receive current are cathodic and therefore protected.
Cathodic protection actively intervenes in this process:
The result: a longer lifespan for your concrete structure, lower maintenance costs and a permanently safe structure.
We protect installations before they cause problems – sustainably and effectively.
We offer expert, tailored advice and technical support to protect your installation against corrosion.
We develop customized designs with high-quality anodes that sustainably protect your installation.
Fast, professional repair service with a wide range of parts in stock – so your installation always remains operational.
We install your cathodic protection in a professional, safe manner. Whether it concerns a brand new project or an existing system – we provide the right solution tailored to your situation.
We apply two methods:
Which method is suitable depends on the material, the location and the load.
Periodic checks with current and potential measurements (including reporting) and regular maintenance ensure optimal operation of your cathodic protection. This allows deviations to be detected and addressed in a timely manner.
A properly functioning CP installation requires follow-up
We are a distributor of high-quality cathodic protection material and supply both installers and end users:
Coastal buildings are exposed to salt, moisture and wind every day. Concrete is naturally porous and therefore allows chlorides (salt particles) to penetrate to the steel reinforcement. When these chlorides attack the steel, corrosion occurs.
Corrosion causes cracks, spalling and weakening of the structure. The process also accelerates as more damage occurs. As a result, balconies, columns, galleries and other concrete structures can lose their stability.
Only repairing the visible damage seems like a quick solution, but does not address the cause. This can endanger the safety of the structure.
