State of Cathodic Protection in 2026: What's Changing and Why It Matters

Guest: Aaron Raath, CEO, CathTect USA Cathodic protection has quietly powered asset integrity for decades, but 2026 marks a turning point. Aging infrastructure, regulatory pressure, AC interference, digital monitoring, and workforce shifts are reshaping how operators design, maintain, and verify CP systems. In this Coatings Talk Livestream, Aaron Raath joins me to break down what’s changing across the Cathodic Protection landscape, why it matters for pipelines and other critical infrastructure, and what Corrosion Technicians, Engineers, and Integrity Teams need to be paying attention to right now. We’ll cover emerging risks, technology advancements, field realities, and the operational challenges that are redefining CP as a frontline integrity system. Tune in for a practical, reality‑centered conversation that cuts through the noise and focuses on what’s real, what’s new, and what’s coming next in cathodic protection. #CoatingsTalk #CathodicProtection #Pipelines #Livestream Want to create LIVE events like this?
