Protection by segment

1 of 5 segments unprotected
SegmentInstant-OFFAgainst criterionState
KP 0.0 – 4.0 -1042 mV Protected
KP 4.0 – 8.0 -968 mV Protected

KP 10.0–14.0 fails on a single severe coating holiday at KP 12.4 (DC-2201, 34% IR). The rest of the line meets criterion comfortably, which is why the fix is a local excavation rather than a CP redesign.
