New anode repair concept developed

SubC Partner has launched an advanced anode repair concept using Saab Seaeye’s Cougar XT electric ROV as a development platform, Saab Seaeye announced on 7 August.

The new concept aims to save up to 75% in costs compared to hydraulic delivered anode repair systems. It can be adapted for any size and shape of sacrificial anode, whether surface mounted or welded. The system offers a fast anode exchange procedure that avoids diver intervention and can be undertaken in extreme weather conditions.

The system comes as a skid, and is a resource targeted at offshore wind installations, oil and gas fields and a range of maritime facilities, including monopiles, jackets, ships and semi-submersibles.

The Cougar’s power and manoeuvrability supported SubC to create an anode replacement system capable of handling anodes weighing up to 40kg and in lengths up to 1100mm — and can be adapted for any size of anode.
