In harsh marine environments, corrosion is one of the most significant threats to the integrity and service life of underwater and submerged steel structures. Whether it’s bridge piles, bulkheads, pipelines, or marine terminals, corrosion can lead to costly repairs, structural degradation, and even catastrophic failures if left unchecked.

Full-Service Cathodic Protection Solutions

We install, evaluate, and maintain a variety of sub-aqueous cathodic protection systems across the entire region.

Working closely with leading corrosion engineering firms, our teams support the protection of a wide range of submerged and waterfront structures, including:

  • Bridges and bridge foundations

  • Bulkheads and seawalls

  • Piers and docks

  • Mooring and breasting dolphins

  • Ships, barges, and marine vessels

  • Pipelines, risers, and subsea infrastructure

 

We understand the crucial role that a cathodic protection system plays in extending the service life and reliability of these assets. Our goal is simple: to deliver corrosion control solutions that perform effectively, require minimal intervention, and meet the highest industry standards.

 

Installation and Implementation

We help install and annually maintain CP systems across the region. Whether your project calls for a new installation, a retrofit on an aging structure, or the expansion of an existing system, our team is equipped to deliver safe, efficient, and reliable results.

 

We work with all major system types, including:

  • Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) Systems – Provide controlled current flow from an external power source, ideal for large-scale structures or variable environments.

  • Sacrificial Anode Cathodic Protection (SACP) Systems – A low-maintenance solution that uses more active metal anodes to protect submerged steel structures through galvanic action.

 

Our certified diving personnel ensure that every installation is performed with precision and in accordance with applicable standards. From initial site assessment and system layout to underwater installation and commissioning, we provide end-to-end support for your specific CP needs.

 

Inspection, Testing & Maintenance

Long-term performance of cathodic protection systems depends on regular evaluation and preventive maintenance. We offer comprehensive CP inspection and monitoring services that include:

  • Annual system testing and performance verification

  • Anode potential measurements and efficiency tracking

  • Power supply and rectifier inspections (for impressed current systems)

  • Visual and tactile inspection of anode condition and connections

  • System adjustments and optimization to maintain proper protection levels

 

Routine maintenance ensures the system is functioning as designed — preventing premature corrosion and minimizing lifecycle costs.

 

Bulkhead Cathodic Protection Surveys

Bulkhead cathodic protection surveys are performed by National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) certified technicians to determine the appropriate CP systems required for wall protection. These surveys assess existing corrosion activity, environmental conditions, material characteristics, and structural configuration to recommend the most effective corrosion control strategy.

Our survey data supports:

  • Selection and sizing of sacrificial anodes

  • Design of impressed current systems

  • Identification of areas with insufficient protection

  • Planning for retrofits or system expansions

 

 

Why Cathodic Protection Matters

Cathodic protection is one of the most cost-effective and proven methods of corrosion mitigation for submerged and marine structures.

 

When properly designed, installed, and maintained, CP systems can:

  • Extend structural service life by decades

  • Reduce maintenance and repair costs

  • Prevent premature failure and unplanned outages

  • Improve safety and reliability

  • Support regulatory compliance and asset management programs
