Cathodic Protection for Skirt Pile
Cathodic Protection for Skirt Pile
(OP)
I am currently designing a cathodic protection system for an offshore platform and accounting a problem in providing CD to the skirt pile. The skirt pile cannot be electrically connected to the jacket due practical reasons. Is there any methods I can consider?

What is the configuration of the skirt pile - do you mean the piles driven down inside jacket legs? If so they may well touch the legs anyway.

Surely no more impractical than attaching separate anodes after driving skirt piles. Drill and bolt with air tools, wet weld tack, even a clamp and set screw would do it.
