Marine

Marine vessels and structures are particularly at risk of corrosion due to the effects of seawater on unprotected steel.  Coatings are always the first line of defense and cathodic protection, for submerged steel, is a necessity as coatings degrade or are damaged.  Cathodic protection can be extremely effective in extending the life of critical marine infrastructures such as ships, boats, barges, offshore structures, piers, pilings, docks, piping, and similar.

Because seawater is very corrosive, the requirement for effective cathodic protection systems is even more critical.  Designs must consider issues not seen with other structures.   These considerations include elevated CP current needs, temperature variations, tidal flow or water movement, and extreme environmental conditions.

As a leader in cathodic protection and corrosion control solutions, we are here to help you deal with and mitigate the difficulties caused by marine corrosion and to make sure your projects maintain safety and longevity while at sea.
