American Innovations
The Cathodic Protection Data Manager (CPDM) is the industry standard for managing cathodic protection data. CPDM is the flagship module within American Innovations' (formerly Bass-Trigon) powerful Pipeline Compliance System (PCS), an integrated application for managing and analyzing maintenance, compliance and operational data for natural gas, hazardous liquids and other regulated pipeline systems. PCS is used to plan work activities, ensure regulatory compliance, and as a method for integrating and correlating data to improve resource allocation and risk reduction decisions. In-Line Inspection Manager (ILIM) Cathodic Protection Data Manager (CPDM).
CPDM combines the cathodic protection method of corrosion control with scalable database management to deliver, order, and control the huge quantities of data produced in cathodic protection systems. At the same time, CPDM lowers the clerical and administrative overhead of operating a CP system, freeing professional staff for engineering functions and data interpretation. Whether scheduling routine field data collection, judging system effectiveness, pinpointing problems, prioritizing ground bed construction, or preparing for a regulatory audit, CPDM is an indispensable tool for cathodic protection professionals. CPDM is the product of a team of experienced cathodic protection engineers and computer professionals, and has been thoroughly tested on both small and large CP systems. In continuous development since 1985, CPDM is the industry leader in cathodic protection data management.
