International Conference Corrosion Protection for Offshore Wind - 2015

Effective corrosion prevention for extending asset life

Offshore wind turbines by nature are exposed to some of the harshest environmental conditions in the world. The structural integrity and life of offshore wind turbines is the single most important driver throughout a turbines service life.

With corrosion posing an ever increasing risk to the depletion of structural integrity and featuring more regularly on operators agendas. Combined with a number of offshore wind farms nearing the half-way point in design life. An effective corrosion prevention strategy and system for key metallic structural components such as foundations and turbine tower segments is imperative throughout operation life to ensure the longevity of the offshore wind industry.

The conference will focus on technical challenges for the installation, reliability, longevity and monitoring of corrosion prevention systems, advanced protection methods and corrosion design considerations.

Join this focussed knowledge exchange and discuss:

• Reliable external and internal monopile corrosion prevention strategies to protect structural integrity
• Subsea retrofit options and solutions for corrosion prevention
• Current status of microbially influenced corrosion (MIC)
• Advanced corrosion prevention systems and coatings for efficient corrosion management
• CP performance and corrosion monitoring to manage asset integrity
