Evaluation of Cathodic Protection Systems for Marine Bridge Substructures
Four different cathodic protection systems were installed and evaluated in the reinforced concrete tie beams and footings of four bents at the Queen Isabella Causeway which links South Padre Island to the mainland of Texas. The types of cathodic protection systems installed and evaluated were impressed current sprayed zinc, sprayed titanium, titanium mesh with overlay and sacrificial sprayed zinc. The primary objectives of this study were to monitor and evaluate the installation of the different cathodic protection systems, to evaluate performance of the cathodic protection systems, to establish recommendations for full-scale application of cathodic protection for the Queen Isabella Causeway and to establish recommendations for the implementation of cathodic protection systems for marine bridge substructures in Texas. As part of this study, a pre-installation condition for the Queen Isabella Causeway was conducted. The purpose of the pre-installation evaluation was to assess the condition of the structure and the feasibility of cathodic protection as a rehabilitation option. The installation of the different cathodic protection systems was described, and the installation of the anode systems was evaluated using constructability, productivity, safety and environmnental concerns, and aesthetics as the evaluation parameters.
