THE PROJECT Deepwater Corrosion Services performed anode retrofits on five structures located in the Gulf of Mexico. The installation took a total of 14 days. The platforms consisted of: ? 8-pile in 176 fsw (2.5 days) ? 8-pile in 113 fsw (2.75 days) ? 8-pile in 111 fsw (4 days) ? 4-pile in 111 fsw (4 days) ? 1-pile in 115 fsw (0.5 days) INSTALLATION (TIME: 14 DAYS) The work was accomplished utilizing a 210’ four point boat with divers. The divers guide the RetroPodTM to the bottom and apply the RetroClamp to the prescribed tubular (usually a diagonal near the sea floor). The time differences are due to some structures requiring minor scraping, and to stand-by time caused by other operations being performed. There were a total of 94 anode pods positioned strategically around
