Protecting foundation piling of Apollo launch complex
Corrosion cell involves 4225 steel piles being driven on Merritt Island near Cape Kennedy, Fla, as foundation for Vertical Assembly Building part of launch complex; major corrosion factor was moist, humid, marine environment at site, with upper layers of soil already highly aerated; other factors also contributed to likelihood of rapid corrosion; cathodic protection system chosen was impressed current type using rectifiers as source of direct current and high silicon cast iron anodes to feed current into ground and onto piles; special anode considerations; test program.
