MANUFACTURING
NCL has successfully designed and built CP systems for clients around the world. All NCL manufactured items are built in the United States.
Custom-built anodes and reference electrodes
Cathodic protection(CP) systems are often designed for structures in challenging locations with unique specifications that require particular installation processes. NCL can design and build custom anodes and reference electrodes to perform in locations like these or nearly any other industrial application.
Custom-built anode mounting assemblies
A major contributor to CP system failure is improper or inadequate anode mounting or positioning. The risk of anode failure by electrical shorting can become a costly problem if the anode is not securely mounted in place.
Custom-built junction and electrical pull boxes
NCL builds CP junction boxes and pull-boxes per your project’s specification. These boxes are often required to comply with NACE, NEC, ASTM and NEMA standards.
CP system repairs
Repairing an existing CP system may be a more economical choice than installing a new one. NCL’s field technicians can trouble-shoot faulty systems and determine if repairs are more cost effective than replacements. NCL is capable of handling repair projects of all sizes.
Anode and reference electrode re-building
In some cases, NCL can rebuild Bayanode probe anodes, probe reference electrodes and Morganode IIs by extracting and recovering functioning elements and reconstructing them into our advanced internal seals and robust external epoxy coatings. Click here for more information.
Rectifier troubleshooting and repair
NCL engineers and technicians are certified and trained in rectifier troubleshooting and repairs. Our close relationship with rectifier manufacturers enables us to keep repair times to a minimum.
Export and ocean-going crating capabilities
NCL products are shipped to some of the harshest environments on earth and we take great pride in making sure they arrive intact. All international crating materials conform to ISPM-15 regulations.
Project kitting available
Large projects, with or without multiple on-site locations, can be organized and kitted at NCL to make your final delivery simple, efficient and quick. For example, NCL kitted a project for a customer that needed four different CP systems at 2 different areas at one renovation project site. Each system was carefully organized, contained and marked appropriately so the receiving end could easily decipher the contents and the exact field location.
INSTALLATION
We offer a wide range of off-the-shelf CP materials for numerous applications including anodes, reference cells, rectifiers, cable, backfill, and test equipment.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Nearly 50 years of experience in cathodic protection(CP) system installation.
- Installation services are typically provided for these areas: Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Other locations may be provided upon request.
- NACE certified CP and Corrosion Technicians.
- Licensed by the Washington State DOE and the Oregon State DEQ to perform CP installation and testing on Underground Storage Tanks (UST).
- ICC UST Supervisor in both Washington and Oregon.
- NCL holds a General Contractors License to perform work in Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Nevada.
- NCL holds a Washington State Electrical Contractors License.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION SITES:
Military Bases
- NCL has completed many projects on military bases throughout Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, Guam, Alaska and more. This includes the installation of cathodic protection ground-beds for protecting above and below ground storage tanks and piping.
Municipalities
- Numerous projects for various municipalities have included cathodic protection systems for the interior of water reservoirs. Despite the many challenges regarding water reservoir structural dimensions, NCL’s cathodic protection installation crew is efficient and safe when on the job.

Docks and Pilings
- Installing CP systems on docks and/or pilings can be difficult because of high winds, waves and tidal activity. NCL’s CP installation crew often works with professional divers to complete underwater anode systems. NCL is highly experienced and well trained in unique safety provisions required when working in these active sites.
Farms
- Intake structures, docks and irrigation pipelines present certain challenges as these systems are commonly large bare structures. NCL’s experience in protecting these systems provides us the background to design CP systems that are effective and efficient. NCL commonly works with farm labor to install CP systems at a cost savings to our clients.
NCL has successfully completed more than 20,000 cathodic protection projects worldwide.
FEATURED PROJECT
CERREJON P40 EXPANSION PROJECT PUERTO BOLIVAR, COLOMBIA SOUTH AMERICA
In 2013, Norton was retained to provide complete cathodic protection (CP) engineering/design, materials, installation supervision and system commissioning of an impressed current system protecting steel piles on a new expansion dock.
