Test station assemblies for monitoring cathodic protection of structures and related methods

A test station assembly for a cathodic protection monitoring assembly, the test station assembly comprising:

• a face plate connected to a pole, the pole configured to support the face plate above a ground surface;
• a test post extended through an opening in the face plate such that the test post includes a first portion on a first side of the face plate and a second portion on a second side of the face plate, the second side being opposite the first side;
• and
• an electrically non-conductive, ring-shaped identification indicator having a threaded bore, the identification indicator connected to the test post such that the second portion of the test post is inserted through and threadably engaged with the threaded bore, the identification indicator including one or more identifying characteristics to identify a corresponding voltage source of a plurality of underground voltage sources, the plurality of underground voltage sources being associated with an at least partially buried structure, a cathodic protection system for the at least partially buried structure, or the cathodic protection monitoring assembly, and the corresponding voltage source being electrically connected to the test post.

A test station assembly of a cathodic protection monitoring assembly, the test station assembly comprising:

• a face plate including a plurality of openings;
• a plurality of test posts configured to pass through the plurality of openings;
• a plurality of electrically non-conductive identification indicators configured to connect to the plurality of test posts on the face plate, each of the plurality of identification indicators including one or more identifying characteristics to identify a corresponding voltage source of a plurality of underground voltage sources associated with an at least partially buried structure, a cathodic protection system for the at least partially buried structure, or the cathodic protection monitoring assembly, each of the plurality of identification indicators comprising a ring-shaped member that is configured to receive a portion of a corresponding test post of the plurality of test posts therethrough, and each of the plurality of identification indicators comprising a threaded bore that is configured to threadably engage with the portion of the corresponding test post;
• and
• a plurality of electrical conductors configured to electrically connect the plurality of test posts to the plurality of underground voltage sources.

• and
• a threaded nut threadably engaged with the second portion of the test post to compress the identification indicator against the second side of the face plate.
