• Extra metal features close <strong>to</strong> or <strong>to</strong>uching the pipeline can<br />

damage the protective coating <strong>and</strong>/or affect the performance<br />

of the cathodic protection system.<br />

• There is no external corrosion located in the vicinity of these<br />

features, therefore they are considered <strong>to</strong> be insignificant in<br />

terms of the integrity of the pipeline.<br />
