Background Information: Cathodic protection (CP) is a method used to halt the corrosion of steel reinforcement embedded in concrete by applying a small electrical current through a surface mounted anode. The Tay Road Bridge has a CP system installed within the extents of the tidal splash zone to all concrete piers and a project to renew elements of the CP system was approved at the March 2025 Board meeting.
