ANODE INSPECTION & REPLACEMENT

Anodes keep your valuable parts of your vessel from corroding. Extensive growth or worn out anodes don’t provide the protection for your metal parts and those essential parts can start corroding. Regular checks and timely replacement of your anodes will keep your vessel in good shape. We will work with you to determine when and how often your anodes will need to be replaced to provide you with the most cost effective protection to your vessel.

Cathodic protection systems protect a wide range of metallic structures in various environments. Common applications are: steel water or fuel pipelines and steel storage tanks; ship and boat hulls; offshore oil platform and onshore oil well casings; offshore wind farm foundations and metal reinforcement bars in concrete buildings and structures. Another common application is in galvanized steel, in which a sacrificial coating of zinc on steel parts protects them from rust. Cathodic protection can, in some cases, prevent stress corrosion cracking.
