Well Head Facilities

In cathodic protection wells (deep Wells), equipment is used to install and maintain anodes inside the well, known as well head facilities. These facilities contribute to the mechanical stability of anodic systems. Well head facilities is also used to keep the anodes centered and to reduce the load on the anodes cable and to replace the anodes during repairs. There is usually some extra cable on the facilities to allow the anodes to move at a higher depth. The well head facilities consist of two steel bars with a retainer, an aluminum spool, a wooden spool and a handle.
