Electromagnetic Interference Assessment: Technical Checklist
Early detection is the difference between scheduled maintenance and a catastrophic failure caused by accelerated corrosion. In corridors where electrical infrastructure and fluid-transport pipelines converge, electromagnetic interference (EMI) diagnostics must be rigorous and systematic.
Many engineers rely solely on rectifier potential readings, overlooking the fact that alternating current (AC) interference can damage the coating even when cathodic protection levels appear “within compliance.” To support this evaluation, we have consolidated the critical checkpoints our TECNA ICE experts assess in every interference-mitigation engineering project.

This Excel checklist includes 20 key questions across 4 critical areas—a technical roadmap to evaluate the vulnerability of your assets.
The document is designed to support decision-making in maintenance, engineering, and integrity teams; however, it does not replace professional judgment or a specialized interference-mitigation assessment.
The document is designed to support decision-making in maintenance, engineering, or integrity teams, but it does not replace professional judgment or a specialist assessment conducted by interference-mitigation experts.
Completing this checklist is only the first step. If your asset meets more than three warning indicators, it likely requires a formal AC/DC Interference Mitigation Design. At TECNA ICE, we go beyond diagnostics: we deliver detailed engineering, supply state-of-the-art components, and perform field installation under international standards.
Do not allow silent induction to compromise your integrity objectives. A timely AC/DC Interference Assessment is the most cost-effective investment for the lifetime of your pipeline.
