CASE STUDIES
ExxonMobil / Subsea7 / Belmet – Saxi Batuque Project
This project required a multi-coating corrosion protection system for 32 flowline end termination (FLET) structures designed for the Saxi and Batuque Field Development located offshore Angola. These subsea structures required a minimum corrosion protection lifespan of 15 years and all coating methodology, coating thickness, substrate adhesion and coating testing was performed by third party inspection authorities under the auspices of ExxonMobil.
PetroSA / Subsea7 / Belmet – South Coast Gas Development Project
McM was contracted to apply a multi-coating corrosion protection system for seven pipeline end manifold (PLEM) structures for the South Coast Gas development Project offshore Mossel Bay in South Africa. These structures that were laid in the Indian Ocean required a minimum corrosion protection lifespan of 15 years and all coating methodology, coating thickness, substrate adhesion and coating testing was performed by third party inspection authorities. A portion of the corrosion protection system involved the application of compression coatings and this aspect was performed by a global leader in pipeline coatings with McM offering on-site support where required. This project allowed McM to gain valuable insight and experience in offshore pipeline coating methods.
