Sea cables

Sea cables must withstand many years of exposure to the elements. Cables in marine environments can effectively be protected with cathodic protection, increasing design life considerably with many years. Our systems are flexible and can include anodes with material options such as:

Subsea cables, used for transmitting electricity, data, or other types of signals underwater, are exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Water, salt, and biological elements create an aggressive environment where corrosion can quickly affect the metallic components and insulation materials of the cables. This degradation can lead to anything from signal interference to complete failures in transmission capacity.

Corrosion on subsea cables is particularly serious because detecting and repairing damage when the cables are on the seabed can be challenging and expensive. If issues are not addressed promptly, it can result in costly downtime, repairs, and even the need to replace entire cable systems.

Common problems with corrosion in subsea cables:

Address unique environmental challenges and ensure long-term protection against corrosion. Tailored solutions consider factors like material durability and exposure to marine conditions.

Sacrificial anodes provide reliable corrosion protection for subsea cables by preventing galvanic corrosion, offering a cost-effective and proven method to extend their lifespan.

ICCP systems deliver precise and adjustable protection for subsea cables, ensuring consistent corrosion control in varying marine environments while reducing maintenance needs.

We are one of Scandinavia's leading suppliers of cathodic protection since 1989. Our headquarters are located in Ramlösa, Helsingborg, in southern Sweden.
