Protection from biofouling and corrosion is best achieved by pre-empting how it will affect your operation and planning to reduce/eliminate its impact at the design stage.

The Centre assists clients with component design, material specification and system integration. In addition it specialises in the selection of protective coating systems compatible with clients' operating environments, enabling minimisation of corrosion related expenditure and improving reliability.

Preventing repeated infrastructure failures through expert analysis for marine systems and components.

Our team of experts is able to determine which corrosion mechanism causes systems to fail, enabling clients to modify their design and predict component life cycles more effectively to reduce the impact of corrosion in the future. The Centre’s failure analysis, which includes Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC), can be used either directly by its clients, or as evidence in arbitrations to meet their requirements.

Bespoke experiments to enable our clients to identify and mitigate corrosion issues before entering challenging operational environments.

The Centre’s team of marine experts designs and conducts robust, pilot-scale experiments in the laboratory and the field on behalf of their clients to test novel corrosion control approaches, identify potential failure points and help to prevent critical system and component failures.
