Subsea pipelines and structures are exposed to harsh marine environments that threaten their integrity. Protective coatings and systems extend their service life, enhance safety and reduce maintenance costs.
Selecting the right coating depends on the pipeline's environment, mechanical stress and desired lifespan. Typical coatings include anti corrosion, weight and thermal insulation coatings.
Pipelines are protected and monitored to prevent failures and reduce maintenance costs. Methods include cathodic protection and various inspection techniques.
Minor or moderate damage can be repaired without full replacement. Advanced techniques ensure subsea reliability.
Subsea structures like pipelines, rigs and wind farms face corrosion, biofouling and mechanical wear. Effective coatings and monitoring ensure operational safety and longevity.
Plan early during design, prepare surfaces properly, apply coatings correctly and maintain with inspections and re coating programs.
