Unless instructed otherwise, Architect-Engineer (A-E) CPS surveys and
designs must be accomplished under the supervision of one of the
following individuals:
1)
Registered Professional Corrosion Engineer.
2)
Registered Professional Engineer who is also a NACE certified
corrosion protection specialist or cathodic protection specialist or
has a minimum of five years of experience in the applicable CPS.
3)
NACE certified corrosion protection specialist or cathodic protection
specialist with a minimum of five years experience in the applicable
CPS.
Unless instructed otherwise by the cognizant NAVFAC EFD/EFA OR
USACE DISTRICT, perform field tests (resistivity, pH, current
requirements, etc.) at the proposed installation to evaluate, as a minimum,
soil and/or water corrosivity. The tests are used to design the CPS and
assumptions must be supported by the field test data. Design the CPS for
overall system maintainability.
Project Managers must contact the NAVFAC EFD/EFA OR USACE
DISTRICT's Corrosion Control Coordinator regarding the CPS design and,
upon request, will forward the design documents to the Coordinator for
review. Design submittals must include, as a minimum, the following:
1)
Preliminary Engineering Plan (PEP): soil and/or water corrosivity
data, current requirements test data (if applicable), and all design
calculations.
2)
Final drawings: the CPS one-line diagrams, locations of all
cathodic protection equipment (anodes, rectifiers, test stations,
etc.), interference test points, installation details, insulating fittings,
and bond connections.
3)
Final specifications: acceptance testing procedures including static
(native) potentials, initial and final system potentials, and
interference tests.

METERING. In general, all utilities should be metered unless instructed
otherwise by the cognizant NAVFAC EFD/EFA OR USACE DISTRICT. Metering actual
utility usage provides accurate data for billing and historical purposes. Install meters in
accessible vaults or in above-grade enclosures ashore or on piers. Specify state-of-the-
art electronic meters unless instructed otherwise. Consult with the Activity to determine
if there is an existing metering program and integrate new meters into such existing
programs. Where metering is not initially provided, then include provisions for the easy
future addition of meters. This may include providing concrete meter vaults or access
