SCCS provides general advisory service for clients' corrosion and cathodic protection related problems. We are able to offer advice as to the optimum solution which may involve the choice of materials (impressed current or sacrificial anodes, permanent potential electrodes PPE, corrosion monitors, resistance probes RPE, Cu/CuSo4 or Ag/AgCl reference electrodes), CP design, coating system or cathodic protection. We have the back-up of full metallurgical laboratory analysis if required. SCCS's engineers have amassed great experience in the design, supply and installation of cathodic protection systems for every application and have worked throughout Australasia and in most other parts of the World. The technologically advanced PCS-2000 coating defect survey equipment can replace the 'Pearson' Holiday Detector which was developed in the 1950's. Pipe-CAMP Instruments, developed in the 1980's, are continually developing the PCS-2000 to suit current demands of this industry. Our research and development (R & D) has made several innovations since it was invented.  The PCS-2000 is patented world-wide.  The accuracy of pin pointing coating defects using the PCS-2000 equipment is +/- 100mm and consistency of locating defects is 99% accurate. More recently we have incorporated GPS into our field practice for surveying, thus allowing all features (including defects, test points, fences, roads, meter posts, rivers etc.) to be pinpointed with a GPS co-ordinate to an accuracy of less than a metre. All features given three coordinates can thus be subsequently located for proactive action. GPS also allows for the altitude to be established. Our back pack contains the on-board data correction with a roaming antennae that can be used all over the World. Recent repeating developments has allowed for integration between CIPS Intelligent Pigging and Cathodic Protection audit reports, hence allowing for pipeline operators/owners to maximise on pipeline integrity and service life extension.<BR> <BR> </DIV> <TABLE ALIGN="center" WIDTH="700" STYLE=" color: #C0C0C0; FONT-WEIGHT: NORMAL; FONT-SIZE: 10; BORDER-COLLAPSE: COLLAPSE" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" HEIGHT="20" BORDER="1" BORDERCOLOR="#808080"> <TR> <TD ALIGN="center">Copyright  Southern Corrosion Control Services 2004 </TD> <TD></TD> <TD ALIGN="center">Cathodic Protection - Corrosion Control - DCVG - PCS-2000</TD> <TD ALIGN="center">Webmaster: Ferenc Borbely</TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY>
