Contractors have an opportunity to provide value added service to their clients through the application of cathodic protection. Because cathodic protection will prevent future corrosion, clients are satisfied for the long term, which will help to build referrals for future work. Experienced concrete contractors can add cathodic protection installation to their services with minimal investment of time for training. The installation tasks include continuity testing, basic electrical wiring, and painting -- all of which can be easily performed by a concrete contractor with only a modest amount of training.
