Frequently Asked Questions

What is electrical interference mitigation?

It is the engineering process responsible for identifying and neutralizing stray currents (AC or DC) that affect buried or submerged metallic structures.
At TECNA ICE, we combine field surveys and computational modeling to prevent these currents from accelerating corrosion and compromising the integrity of your assets.

Which industries does this service apply to?

Primarily the Oil & Gas and Energy sectors. It is critical for pipeline operators sharing corridors with:
High-voltage transmission lines, Railway systems, Industrial plants with significant electrical loads.
These conditions may generate interference affecting transportation infrastructure.

Is this service for you if…?

This service is essential if your infrastructure meets any of the following conditions:

You operate metallic pipelines parallel to high-voltage power lines or electrical substations
You have detected atypical variations in cathodic protection potentials
You need to ensure maintenance personnel safety against induced voltage risks
Your assets must comply with strict electrical safety and environmental regulations

What types of interference do you mitigate?

We address both: Alternating Current (AC) interference, commonly induced by power transmission lines; Direct Current (DC) interference, generated by other cathodic protection systems or external sources
Each type requires a specific mitigation design and dedicated components based on technical modeling.

How do you detect interference in buried pipelines?

We use high-precision indirect inspection techniques, including: CIPS (Close Interval Potential Survey), DCVG (Direct Current Voltage Gradient). These tools allow us to evaluate the actual condition of coatings and the effectiveness of cathodic protection under interference conditions.

What are the real risks of not intervening in time?

The main risk is accelerated corrosion, which can drastically reduce asset life and lead to leaks or catastrophic failures within months instead of decades.
Additionally, electrical interference can: Pose electrical safety risks to personnel; Lead to regulatory penalties for non-compliance with international standards.

What does your end-to-end solution include?

Our workflow covers the complete integrity cycle:

Diagnosis: Field survey and modeling using specialized software.
Mitigation: Design, manufacturing, and installation of customized systems.
Inspection: Post-installation validation using CIPS/DCVG.
Monitoring: Periodic evaluations to ensure operational effectiveness.

Which international standards do you follow?

Our solutions comply strictly with standards from: AMPP (NACE), API, ASME e ISO. We have certified engineers and processes validated by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and RUC, ensuring full traceability for auditors and regulatory authorities.
