Abstract
This paper reviews 25 years of experience with cathodic protection of steel in concrete in The Netherlands. Three phases are distinguished from the late 1980s until present: pioneering, development and maturity. The application has grown considerably over these years, up to a total number of 150 structures with CP by the end of 2010. Technical and non-technical developments are highlighted and further growth is foreseen.
