It is well known that capital assets can be seriously affected by the adverse consequences of corrosion. Roughening of hull surfaces causes increased drag and leads to excessive fuel consumption. Corrosion can also lead to weld grooving, which requires expensive and time-consuming repairs in dry-dock. Corrosion of structural members in tanks can jeopardize the integrity of a ship's structure.
For the offshore oil and gas industries, corrosion protection is vital to cost-effective performance. Capital assets can be destroyed by corrosion, often with serious consequences in terms of increased maintenance, loss of production, and possible environmental and safety hazards. Repairing corrosion damage is inevitably costly, but with WCS's expertise cost effective solutions can be engineered into the project from day one.
Throughout the world of industry, corrosion protection is vital to cost-effective performance. Corrosion, often insidious, can quickly threaten the integrity of vital assets, leading to unscheduled costly repairs, loss of production and resources. By comparison, the cost of prevention by means of cathodic protection solutions is modest.
