Keeping an Eye on Remote Steel Structures

The Situation

More than a decade ago, a midwestern electric utility installed a series of structures across the northern border of one of Wisconsin’s most environmentally sensitive wetlands. Within the wetlands is a 150-acre lake that is stocked with trout and serves as a nesting area for birds. It has been designated a state nature area for half a century.

Eight steel poles within the wetlands required a specialized steel foundation system designed to endure harsh conditions and meet strict environmental impact requirements.

Unfortunately, follow-up testing after a few years of service showed that the consumable components of the existing corrosion control systems were going to be depleted well before expected.
