All offshore structures, including platforms (fixed and semi-submersed), piers and docks require a comprehensive, ongoing plan to mitigate corrosion caused by the seawater environment. Over time, and as the structures age, the original sacrificial cathodic protection systems require refurbishment in order to extend the useful life of the structure. This life extension requirement can range from 5 to 20 years.
LIDA® TSA™ anodes
LIDA® TSA™ anode system is an ideal solution for the cathodic protection of offshore platforms, piers, docks, structures and other water installations.
Easy To Install
Durable
Increase Design Life
An impressed current cathodic protection system such as the LIDA® TSA™ is one of the most versatile and effective solutions for cathodic protection retrofit. The tension string anode system is comprised of insoluble mixed metal oxide (MMO) LIDA anodes and cable, assembled on a mechanical supporting rope. The anodes are attached to the rope by spacers, adequate distance from the structure for optimal current distribution.
This system can be specifically designed, and the current output adjusted, to deliver optimal performance needed to extend the life of any offshore structure.
Why chose LIDA TSA for offshore cathodic protection?
- Bespoke solution designed to perfectly match the unique design requirements for each project
- Ease of installation reduces the overall cost of cathodic protection system
- Greater savings in high depth installations (up to 120 m)
- Fewer anodes required due to high current density design
- High-quality standard materials and workmanship in ISO 9000 certified factory
- 35+-year history of successful cathodic protection installations in platforms in water depth ranging from 15 to 120 meters
Incorporating the LIDA TSA system into offshore platforms aligns with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles by promoting sustainable and responsible business practices. The system's long lifespan and high efficiency reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacements, minimizing environmental impact. By preventing corrosion and extending the life of offshore structures, the LIDA TSA system helps preserve valuable resources and supports the safety and integrity of offshore operations, contributing to social and environmental well-being. Moreover, the use of high-quality, ISO 9000 certified materials ensure compliance with stringent governance and quality standards, reinforcing the commitment to ethical practices and sustainability.
