Way ahead in corrosion control
Deepwater Corrosion Services Inc. is a Houston-based corrosion engineering firm founded in 1986, specializing in cathodic protection (CP) design, anode system manufacturing, predictive CP modeling, and offshore inspection services. It protects infrastructure across offshore oil and gas, offshore wind, docks and terminals, and onshore facilities worldwide, and manufactures its own proprietary anode retrofit systems and CP monitoring instruments under brands including RetroBuoy, RetroSAM, RetroLink, Polatrak, and TankGard. With offices in Houston, the UK, Brazil, and Australia, Deepwater operates as a global corrosion engineering and product firm.

Full-service CP engineering including system design, anode specification, and third-party verification for offshore and onshore structures.
Finite-element modeling to predict when and where CP protection levels will drop, optimizing life-extension project costs.
Design and manufacture of retrofit anode systems for offshore platforms, pipelines, FPSO hulls, and wind turbine foundations.
Proprietary Polatrak instruments for divers and ROVs enabling turn-key CP survey and reporting on subsea assets.
Pre-survey planning, mobilization anywhere globally, and comprehensive assessments of offshore structures using diver and ROV inspection tools.
CP design, impressed current systems, and anode retrofits for marine loading docks, wharves, and port terminals.
Cathodic protection engineering and anode retrofit services for offshore wind turbine foundations and substation structures.
Engineered pipe support products (I-Rod material, Nu-Bolt assembly, I-Rod Clip, I-Rod Adhesive) that prevent crevice corrosion under pipe supports.
Laboratory-based corrosion testing, third-party verification, long-term testing, and corrosion investigation services.

Offshore, GOM · Offshore Oil and Gas
Largest-ever single cathodic protection retrofit: Deepwater deployed 21,000 amps of CP using modified RetroBuoy sleds to re-establish cathodic protection on three of the deepest offshore platforms in the world.
Offshore · Offshore Oil and Gas
Deepwater engineers replaced failing hull anodes on the Triton FPSO using the RetroSAM suspended anode module with no subsea intervention required, extending vessel life by 15 years.
Gulf of Mexico · Offshore Oil and Gas
When the original CP system depleted on a Gulf of Mexico platform, Deepwater deployed the RetroLink anode system requiring no subsea intervention to restore protection for a planned life extension.
Onshore, USA · Onshore Oil and Gas Pipelines
Deepwater's PET Pipeline Excavation Tool excavated two locations on large-diameter pipelines buried in swamps, eliminating the need for divers or costly traditional excavation by deploying from barge.
