Corrosion Protection Offshore

Cathodic protection is critical for offshore structures such as oil platforms, wind turbines, and undersea cables, which are exposed to saltwater and harsh weather conditions. This method uses sacrificial anodes, made of zinc, magnesium, or aluminum, to prevent corrosion on more critical metals by sacrificing themselves. This protection is crucial for extending the lifespan of expensive, technically advanced underwater constructions and reducing the need for maintenance. Cathodic protection also safeguards undersea cables at critical points, as well as steel pontoons and barges against corrosion. By integrating this technology into the design and maintenance of offshore structures, corrosion risks and costs can be reduced, which is economically beneficial and contributes to environmental protection by reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
