COATINGS & CORROSION CONTROL
CATHODIC PROTECTION Deepwater Corrosion Services Inc is an experienced designer and manufacturer of quality cathodic protection systems, installed to protect many types of assets in varying environments. Cathodic protection itself is a well established method, which is highly effective in the control and prevention of steel corrosion underground or underwater.
COMPLETE CORROSION EXPERIENCE
REPAIRING THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY METAL CORROSION IS AN EXPENSIVE AND ONGOING STRUGGLE IN MANY INDUSTRIES, ESPECIALLY FOR COMPANIES WITH VITAL EQUIPMENT BURIED UNDERGROUND OR SUBMERGED UNDERWATER. CLEARLY THE OFFSHORE RENEWABLE SECTOR FALLS INTO THIS CATEGORY.
Over the past 25 years Deepwater have built up an international reputation for excellence and are now one of the global leaders in the market, delivering a complete cathodic protection package from initial investigative survey (or design review) through detailed engineering design, manufacture of equipment, site installation and commissioning of systems with subsequent planned operational inspection and maintenance.
OIL AND GAS BACKGROUND Deepwater’s technology has traditionally been used by the oil and gas sector, but similarities have facilitated a natural expansion into the renewables market, which suffers equally from corrosion. Following the opening of its UK subsidiary, Deepwater EU Ltd, approximately five years ago, Deepwater has been building a greater focus on the UK & European market.
After adding new premises in Guildford and in Aberdeen to serve the North Sea, Deepwater has conducted several major offshore projects with continued success.
PROVEN TRACK RECORD As Deepwater’s cathodic protection designs have a proven track record in the harshest of environments, they are able to serve clients working in places as diverse as the freezing North – Alaska - and the hotter climates of the Middle East and Indonesia.
NEW PRODUCT RANGE
Recently Deepwater have created a new product range, specifically aimed at the offshore renewable sector and its unique requirements. The aim of this division is to bring Deepwater’s expertise from the oil and gas sector into the renewable market, where not only is the equipment under constant attack from corrosion, but the environmental conditions fall outside the assumed parameters of the established design codes.
INNOVATION
These innovative, proprietary systems allow asset owners, designers and contractors to ensure that they achieve the targeted design life of new infrastructure in the most cost effective manner.
WIND ENERGY CASE STUDY Deepwater first became involved in offshore wind in 2004, when the company was tasked to develop an urgent retrofit solution for the Arklow wind farm, which was suffering devastating corrosion due to low levels of protection. Here there had been difficulties with the originally sacrificial anode design, and completed monopile foundations were freely corroding with the only protection coming from the galvanised ladders.
