Subsea Corrosion Ltd are pleased to announce that they have undertaken an offshore FiGS® survey on a North Sea platform in collaboration with FORCE Technology Norway AS.
A Subsea Corrosion Ltd engineer mobilised from Aberdeen to setup and interface the FiGS® equipment with the platform based ROV operator, Film-Ocean Ltd. Working in conjunction with the offshore team, FiGS® measurements were obtained at all the designated sacrificial anode and steel structure locations.
The field gradient data, cathodic protection potential data and observed anode condition assessment will now be used for the assessment of the cathodic protection current requirements for the structure, current drains to buried structures, sacrificial anode current outputs and expected life. The data will be assessed and modelled to determine any CP retrofit requirement and optimised locations for material installation.

Tim Queen, Director at Subsea Corrosion Ltd said, “This is another milestone achievement for Subsea Corrosion Ltd and further enhances our collaboration with FORCE and the FiGS ® technology. Having the opportunity to go offshore and collect accurate field gradient data onsite has provided us with the confidence to accurately assess the realtime CP status of the jacket, ultimately ensuring our Clients CP requirements are truly met”.
“We are pleased to see that this FiGS survey, the first executed with our partners Subsea Corrosion, went very well, ran on time and with as expected good quality. This is strengthening our presence in the UK with our specialized CP services, reducing our need for resource intensive travels as well as supplying clients with more cost-efficient services” says Svenn Magne Wigen, Sales Manager at FORCE Technology Norway AS.
