Jetties have a unique situation of being exposed to extreme environmental conditions whilst at the same time being a pipe rack, road and services track which have a separate range of technical needs. 

Jotun has the advantage of being a world leader in offshore and marine coating industry. That experience combines with our knowledge in oil, gas and chemical allowing us to provide optimised solutions.

Corrosion challenges for jetties

It is often best to break down a jetty into its component parts to see how to best protect it.

Splash zones and underwater need typical maritime systems with hard wearing coatings that tolerate impact and abrasion. Maybe even cure underwater to help maintenance procedures. Antifoulings may on occasions help.
 
Above the water line the type of structure must be considered. A pipe rack needs to be protected against a marine environment, but the pipes may well be insulated and suffer from aggressive Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI). It does not need to be complicated thinking – but understanding the needs is critical, and here is where Jotun can support.
