Matcor - Sea-Bottom Marine Anode Sled
Structures submerged in water are subject to the damaging effects of corrosion around the clock. Reliable cathodic protection can extend the life of these structures by decades.MATCOR’s Sea-Bottom Anode is a complete, ready to install marine anode sled including the anode cable and protective housing. The Sea-Bottom Anode is quick and easy to install for cathodic protection of docks, piers, pilings and other marine structures in all types of water. MATCOR engineers custom design the Sea-Bottom Anode for the current and life requirements and the environment where installed.
The anode assembly is easily lowered into the water and onto the sea floor or river bottom with minimal labor and effort. The attached cable and its protective housing lie on the sea bottom and run to the termination point. The Sea-Bottom Anode has a low profile, and with weight from 900 up to 5,000 pounds, the assembly stays in place. MATCOR Sea-Bottom Anodes are installed to provide cathodic protection for marine structures in locations worldwide from Alaska’s Bering Strait to the waters of the Bahamas
- Factory made in controlled conditions
- No field assembly required
- Strong, durable design with factory poured and cured concrete
- All current outputs available: standard sizes to 300 amperes per assembly
- Available to ship worldwide
- Fast installation
MATCOR’s Sea-Bottom Anode is complete and ready to install, including*:
- Mixed metal oxide anode tubes with center connections for cables. The anodes are sized for current and life requirements.Typical outputs are 25, 50, 100, 200 or 300 amperes with other outputs available.
- Heavy duty, machined PVC or fiberglass housing to protect the anodes.
- Support tubes filled with reinforced concrete and locked into the end housings.
- HDPE housing. The housing protects the anode cable and provides strain relief at the concrete end weight. It is perforated to permit the housing to sink and not float.
- Anode cable sized and insulated for the application.
- Reinforced concrete end weights containing the proprietary MATCOR sealed anode to cable connections.
- Steel lifting lugs attached to the reinforced steel cage inside of the end weights.
- Wood skid attached to the end weights. The skid is not removed when the Sea-Bottom Anode is installed.
