The Rota-CellTM System Features:

• Easily mounts to the hitch of an ATV or truck
• Use with any standard “plastic” water tank
• Use your existing data logger or voltmeter, standard reference electrode and backpack
• Surveyor rides on ATV or in the truck while surveying
• The reference electrode remains in continuous contact with soil through a water pathway during the survey, permitting the surveyor the option of triggering data on a timed cycle, by footage or to view constant profile
• Ideal for the pipeline tecnician needing to hot spot a section pipeline
• Verify levels of cathodic protection between test stations
• Improved data quality in difficult soil contact environments
• Identify potential anomalies and field mark for further testing or “dig and inspection”
• Survey foreign pipeline crossings or any other area where stray current interference is suspected
• Use of troubleshooting, varifying levels of protection on distribution piping systems down alleyways, or to identify locations of buried sacrifical anodes
• If the pipeline is not navigable directly over the line and only “off-set” survey (to the side of the pipeline) can be performed, the Rota-Cell can be used to identify areas justifying more detailed close interval survey (i.e. drilling asphalt roads, clearing of right-of-way, etc.)

This is a method of attaching wires to a buried metal pipeline without using typical methods that generate heat on the pipeline during wire attachment. There is a need to have an alternative to thermo-welding or brazing in specific instances when use of heat related wire attachment is unsafe or undesirable.
