Retrofit cathodic protection anodes for a fixed platform in the Egyptian Red Sea
Deepwater installs a retrofit cathodic protection system for a fixed platform in the Red Sea in under 24 hours.
In April 2010, Deepwater Corrosion Services, in conjunction with Egyptian agent Los Amigos, retrofitted the cathodic-protection system of a fixed platform in the Red Sea. The platform is located in 14 meters of seawater approximately one kilometer off the coast of Egypt. The owner required another 20 years of service from the aging structure, which was easily accomplished using the RetroPod / RetroClamp system.
The retrofit cathodic protection (CP) system consisted of:
• 14 x RetroPod (Aluminum anode pods)
• 14 x RetroClamp (Electro-mechanical tie-back clamps)
