TRIMP
• Follow rules
• Defining regions
• As system exists
– Shorted
– Passivation/immunity
• Required digs
– Several categorized immediate
• Deadlines (12/17, replacement)
• Changing tools – changing regions
DIMP vs TRIMP
DIMP
• Regions or considerations
• Shorted system
• Redefining Immediate
• Changing tools
• Deadlines
• Selecting digs
Where to Dig?
DIMP
PURPOSE?
Bad areas on your pipe
• Deficient CP
• Stray current
– Foreign operators
– Transit system
• 3rd party damage
• Specific other
• Unknown
• GPS, GIS, Maps
DIMP
CONSIDERATIONS
• Paved areas
– Small skips
– Offsets
• Hybrid systems
– Focus on trends
– Incorporate IR considerations
• Interference testing
