Abstract

Oil Terminal Protection. The cathodic protection design for the piling of the new North Pier, Mina al‐Ahmadi, Kuwait, consists basically of silicon anodes. The piles are coated with a coal‐tar enamel and the steel superstructure is coated with chlorinated‐rubber paint. Consideration was given to the filling of the piles with water or oil to prevent internal corrosion, but in view of possible damage to piles and loss of liquid they were filled with a sand‐cement mix.
