Academy

The training and further education of employees as well as advice on corrosion protection issues are essential for the operation of cathodic protection.
Individually customisable training courses in the field of CP can be held on-site at the customer's company, online or at Martin GmbH. The training courses can, for example, serve as basic training for beginners in the field of CP and as in-depth training for advanced users. Theoretical and practical training units provide the best possible explanation of the complex subject matter of CP, and what is learned can be applied directly. The content of the training courses can include the following topics:

Practice

  • Visual detection of corrosion (laboratory test)
  • Measurement testing and monitoring of CP structures
  • Soil resistance measurement according to Wenner
  • Current, voltage, resistance measurements
  • Potential measurements/influence measurements
  • Feed-in attempt
  • Intensive measurement and Intensive holidays location
  • Pipe current calibration
