Abstract: This paper concerns the engineering aspects of controlling external corrosion on pipeline systems constructed in arctic areas. Emphasis is on the particular problems associated with corrosion control in permafrost regions. The two general categories of pipeline treated are (1) cold pipelines which are operated at temperatures below those of surrounding permafrost areas and (2) warm pipelines which, when buried in permafrost, can create a zone of thawed earth surrounding the pipeline. The genera! approach to external corrosion control can be quite different for each category these differences are discussed. The corrosion control methods discussed include cathodic protection, coatings, and measures used to mitigate the effect of telluric currents which can be particularly pronounced in arctic areas.
