Material selection for subsea systems and corrosion protection scheme is paramount to ensure uninterupted operability and safe lifetime for subsea system.

IKM Ocean Design will perform activities to ensure that the material and welding used will be design for safe delivery over time. External corrosion protection design is performed as a standard for most projects. If required, internal corrosion analysis will also be performed and result in a material selection that is inert to the fluid.

The company have extensive experience in welding and is often involed in writing or performing reviews of welding specifications (pWPS, WPS, WPQ).

Lifetime extension has been an area that has grown and will be growing for the time to come. IKM Ocean Design have been involved in this area, performing mechanical analysys and corrosion evaluations from survey reports.
