CPCL Breaks the 10 Million Barrier

In just over a year, the Cathodic Protection Co Ltd Transformer Rectifiers installed at the Tangier-Med Port II project have broken the 10 million channel operating hours barrier.

The 28 TRs have 948 channels which generate over 159,000 channel operating hours a week.  CPCL has worked closely with the main contractor on the project since 2007 to create a world-class port facility and major trading hub on the northern shores of Morocco.  The commissioning team sent to Tangiers energised the last TR in December 2014, protecting the steel in the concrete caissons which create the outer walls of the port.

Joe Coburn, CPCL’s TR Engineering Manager, is delighted with the TRs’ and Remote Monitoring & Control System’s performance.  “The exposure to such a high number of operating hours on our equipment and in particular on the control Printed Circuit Boards proves that our system is highly effective and reliable.  And our success as part of the prominent world profile of the Tangier-Med Port project has helped us make sustained gains in contractual work within the concrete construction industry.”
