Marine and Offshore

1. Cathodic Protection for Jetties

Jetties are often exposed to high saltwater concentrations, which accelerate corrosion processes, particularly in the piles, steel structures, and other submerged components.

How SARK EPC Protects:

ICCP Systems: For large and complex jetty structures, we design customized ICCP system that uses DC power supply and inert anodes (e.g., titanium) placed strategically around the structure. This continuous current flow prevents corrosion by keeping the steel in the jetty’s components in a reduced, non-corroding state. Specialized fabricated clamps are our key offering and speciality for mounting of ICCP anodes and reference electrodes on the jetty piles.

SACP System: For smaller or less complex jetty structures aluminium anodes are used providing sacrificial protection to the jetty's metal components exposed to sea water / sea mud.

Real-Time Monitoring: We integrate Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS) for continuous assessment of the CP system's effectiveness, ensuring optimal protection and allowing for predictive maintenance to avoid any potential failures.

2. Cathodic Protection for Sheet Piles

Sheet piles, often used in marine and waterfront construction (e.g., quay walls, docks), are in direct contact with seawater, making them highly susceptible to corrosion from tidal fluctuations, wave action, and marine biofouling.

How SARK EPC Protects:

ICCP Systems:We design and implement impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems to provide continuous protection for sheet piles above and below the waterline. These systems use an external power source to deliver a protective current, preventing corrosion in both submerged and exposed areas. The protection system can be designed for both – sea facing side and land facing sides.

SACP System: For localized protection of submerged sections of sheet piles, we install sacrificial anode-based cathodic protection (SACP). These anodes corrode in place of the sheet pile, offering an effective and cost-efficient solution for preventing corrosion in high-risk zones.

Tailored Solutions: We customize our CP solutions based on the sheet pile's size, exposure conditions, and material type, ensuring the most cost-effective and long-lasting protection.

Ongoing Monitoring: Our CP systems are equipped with advanced monitoring tools that track the condition of the sheet piles, providing real-time data to detect corrosion risks and take corrective actions before any structural damage occurs.

3.Cathodic Protection for Offshore Structures

Offshore platforms, rigs, and pipelines face some of the harshest conditions—saltwater, pressure, and wave action which increase the corrosion rates of metal structures.

How SARK EPC Protects:

Comprehensive CP Design: For offshore oil and gas platforms, pipelines, and other submerged structures, we employ ICCP System in combination with SACP System, particularly in deep-water environments where direct access for maintenance is challenging. We have licenced software for this kind of specialized CP design which work on Boundary Element Method.

Corrosion Monitoring and Protection: We deploy advanced RMS that provide continuous data on the cathodic protection effectiveness and monitor parameters like current and voltage across offshore structures.

Life Cycle Extension: Our CP solutions are designed to extend the life cycle of offshore assets, significantly reducing the need for expensive repairs and shutdowns.

4. Cathodic Protection for Harbor Facilities

Harbor facilities consist of a variety of infrastructure elements such as piers, docks, fenders, loading/unloading systems, and marine terminals, all of which are exposed to aggressive seawater corrosion.

How SARK EPC Protects:

Customized CP Solutions: We tailor CP systems to different harbour facility components. For piers and docks, SACP System is used to prevent localized corrosion, while for larger structural elements like fenders and piles, ICCP Systems provide continuous protection.

Zone Protection: For large harbours, we design integrated CP systems that cover both the submerged and above-water portions of the structures, ensuring complete protection across all zones.

Monitoring & Maintenance: We customize our CP solutions based on the sheet pile's size, exposure conditions, and material type, ensuring the most cost-effective and long-lasting protection.
