Protecting 622 Stacked HDD Pipe Segments with ZERUST® ActivPak®(LS)-35
ZERUST® ActivPak®(LS)-35 Corrosion Inhibitor Lead Assemblies with Corrosion Monitoring Coupons
Project Specifics
Installation Dates
November 2022
Location
Wisconsin, USA
Environmental Conditions
Late fall, with temperatures from the low 30s to the mid-60s °F, partly cloudy to windy, and rain and sleet on one day.
Asset Details
HDD pipe segments (622 total), 55–80 ft each, stacked in lay-up.
Pipeline Details
Stacked pipe segments with end caps fitted at both ends; some caps were missing or damaged at project start.
ZERUST® Product(s) Used
ZERUST® ActivPak®(LS)-35 custom corrosion inhibitor lead assemblies (622); custom corrosion monitoring coupon assemblies (62).
Inhibitor Delivery System
Custom lead assemblies fed into each segment through a cutout in one end cap with a push pipe; the cutout was then patched and sealed.
Project Details
The 622 segments were stacked in lay-up, some with missing or damaged end caps. Each received a lead assembly pushed in through an end-cap cutout, which was then patched and sealed, and 62 also received magnet-mounted monitoring coupons. Staggered shipments and one day of wet weather paused work briefly.
Outcome & Recommendations
All 622 segments were treated and about 40 end caps were replaced. Leave the coupons in place for six months, then remove them and send them to ZERUST Integrity Solutions® for analysis.
