Since corrosion is due to the outflow of iron atoms carried by the sea or soil current, it can be reduced or even prevented if such currents can be stopped or reversed, causing all the submerged or buried metal parts to receive current instead of giving out current. This can be done by placing anodes in the soil (or water) near the steel structure which will force current into the structure, Cathodically protecting the Steel Structure. Cathodic Protection can be applied to any steel that is in contact with soil or water: lattice steel structures on direct embed grillage type foundations, direct embed steel poles, and vibratory steel caissons.
