- DCVG was first was discovered by John Mulvany an Australian ex Telecom Corrosion Engineer, who worked extensively with Dr.Leeds of DCVG Ltd. in developing the technique and its application. This gives DCVG Ltd. an unparalleled 29 years experience in DCVG Technology. This expertise backed by the excavation and inspection of several thousand DCVG fau...
DCVG - Wikipedia
The DCVG method was invented by Australian John Mulvany, an ex Telecom engineer, in the early 1980s. This technique was used by Telecom Australia to identify damaged insulation on buried metallic cable. At that time Santos in Adelaide was keen to use coating defect techniques for buried pipelines suffering corrosion in the Moomba area. John Leeds, a professional corrosion engineer, was employed by Santos to engage companies with relevant expertise. Initially intern…

Direct Current Voltage Gradient Survey (DCVG)
Direct Current Voltage Gradient surveys are used to evaluate defects in pipeline coatings. Corrosion normally occurs where the bare metal surface of a pipeline comes in contact with its surrounding electrolyte (water and soil). The primary …
