Offshore pipeline projects important for organizations' market presence




Cathodic Protection is one of the most effective methods to protect metal surfaces from corrosion. This method offers significant advantages over other techniques due to its basic design and easy monitoring. Oil & gas industry assets, including transmission pipelines & storage tanks, generate the major demand for Cathodic Protection, followed by the water & wastewater sector comprising water tank and foundation surfaces of manmade water bodies.
Cathodic Protection also finds application in building and bridge infrastructure for steel protection and in other assets that are highly exposed to corrosion such as ship hulls, ballast tanks and heater treaters in process plants. The Cathodic Protection market is highly competitive in nature and includes both, large firms that provide services globally, as well as small & medium-sized firms that have a more limited portfolio and offer products and services at a regional level.
Oil & gas pipelines are major assets that need protection from corrosion to avoid leakage, product loss and ensure public and environmental safety. Adding to this, building structures comprising steel in reinforced concrete are being equipped with Cathodic Protection during the initial phase of construction rather than using Cathodic Protection for maintenance purposes at a later stage. Cathodic Protection has now become an important aspect among all end users across various industry verticals so as to reduce anticipated maintenance and repair costs and extend the life of infrastructure.
