FIFTY YEARS OF CORROSION PROTECTION
Can steel pipelines and structures be protected from the ravages of corrosion for fifty years?
Based on thirty years known resin technology and performance the answer could be yes providing specifications are right and the preparation and application is carried out to the required standards.
This technology could provide answers for the offshore wind energy generation industry for tubular towers, monopiles, tripods,
In an age when designers, operators and asset managers are looking for long term cost effective resolutions to the problems of corrosion to steel and budgets are tight this is a serious question and answers are required.
jackets and subsea structures.
The resin technology is based on solvent free polyurethane and there is a product that does have over thirty years maintenance free track record.
Surveys carried out on a number of structures after twenty to twenty five years are positive and a further twenty to twenty five years corrosion protection has been forecast.
With over thirty years proven maintenance free performance in a wide variety of aggressive environments there is a system which may accommodate the requirement for fifty years corrosion protection providing the specification is right going in and the preparation and application is carried out by competent partner applicators who will give due regard to all the necessary standards to achieve the long performance life.
