1. Minimal
Offshore Structures
Many offshore structures that sit in less than 85
f.s.w can have the corrosion protection system
replaced very cost effectively using RetroLink. The
system can be quickly installed with a small topside
crew. No diving is required. The system can provide
5 to 7 years of protection.
2. Offshore Wind
Turbines
Foundation piles may be placed up to 1 year before
the transition structure is installed. During this
period RetroLinks can save the day, then can be
recovered and redeployed during periods of grid
power interruption. For quick, painless retrofit,
this is the ideal system.
3. Docks, Harbors
and Wharves
RetroLink systems are reliable and easy to maintain
using small under-dock access vessels and equipment
commonly found around such installations. A simple
design guide enables the facility owner to apply
adequate levels of cathodic protection following a
simple field verification procedure. Links have been
installed to provide cathodic protection to bridge
pilings, whether reinforced concrete or steel. The
installation is quick and easy.
4. Temporary
Protection
Vessels in long-term wet storage can be protected
cost-effectively by this system. Simple owner
verification that submerged parts of the vessel are
not corroding is possible with the optional
inspection kit.
5. Pipeline Risers
Short infield lines can be effectively retrofitted
with RetroLinks, using the host structure as the
support and grounding to the pipeline side of the
insulating flange.
