Jessica vs The Beast - Condition assessment of a primary sedimentation basin at a 40+ MGD wastewater plant in Southern CA. Project goal: Provide recommendations for facility rehabilitation and/or replacement to allow EWA (Encina Wastewater Authority) to plan for capital improvement projects. Project engineer, Jessica Bolanos, PE, CIP1.

Wondering about the partnership between Cathodic Protection Design and Soil Resistivity Testing? We can shed some light on the testing process. Using a ground resistance tester, we discharge alternating current into the soil from two outer pins. The current creates a voltage gradient in the soil proportional to the average resistance of the soil. These measurements dictate the type of cathodic protection designed to protect metallic structures. If you’d like more detailed information on this and other ways to test and manage corrosion, follow our news page: http://ow.ly/N56O50uIs83 #vaeng #cathodicprotection #soilresistivity
