Raparound™ is the only cathodic protection system to withstand consecutive winter freezes in Alaska’s Cook Inlet

The Raparound™ anode system is designed to protect pilings on piers and jetty structures in extremely harsh environments, but can be used in more hospitable situations as well. The anodes are available in different configurations to allow attachment to any piling shape from tubular to beam.

The first Raparound™ anodes were originally commissioned for the Cook Inlet in Alaska, where constant freeze and thaw cycles rendered all previous pile anodes ineffective. The Raparound™ has since proved itself in extensive time trials, surviving in the rapid ice-laden currents and punishing winter freezes year after year. With these data, we are confident that the Raparound™ is suited for all types of environments. From the heavy-duty support frame to the dielectric shield, this anode is designed to take abuse and continue working. It can provide up to 100 amperes per anode for pile diameters between 12" and 48" using triple-coated MMO-activated titanium anodes.

Raparound™ anodes are also available for milder conditions where damage from ice poses less of a problem. The anodes are just as efficient, but the cost is lower because the heavy-duty steel protective frames aren’t necessary.
