Cathodic Protection

Sydney Opera House uses Omniflex Cathodic Protection When the iconic Sydney Opera House (built between 1957 and 1973) needed to replace an ageing cathodic protection system protecting the Western Boardwalk the consultants chose Omniflex. The Western Boardwalk extends over the sea, and has concrete support pillars that extend to the sea floor. The entire structure requires an impressed current cathodic protection system to prevent corrosion of the steel reinforcing in the concrete. Space under the board walk is extremely limited, with tidal activity and ferry turbulence reducing the available height between the high water mark and the soffit to under two metres. The consultants chose Omniflex PowerView Cathodic Protection system because of its efficiency and compact construction to fit into the cramped space and harsh conditions.
