Failure of niche areas caused by biofouling can be operation critical and, in many cases, coatings alone do not provide adequate protection. 

Most marine operations have key components such as internal spaces, heat exchangers, connectors or sensors, which are at a higher risk from biofouling and corrosion than the surrounding infrastructure.

The Centre enables clients to identify critical areas and implement appropriate protection from biofouling issues by using the most appropriate combination of coatings and active antifouling control.
