AXI-Gard
Corrosion Protection Material for Bolted Connections within Monopile Transition Pieces
Page last modified
April 11 2024
AXI-Gard is a non-conductive media, which provides corrosion control, typically in the annulus between the transition piece and the monopile. Deployed in splash zones, where oxygen-rich seawater is a significant threat to the integrity of critical elements such as bolts in the monopile, the hydrophobic solution provides protection even if the grout seals fail.
Pros & Limitations
1
Faster pumping and no curing reduces vessel time and cost
1
Simple application by pumping into the annulus
1
Environmentally friendly, plant based material
1
Reduced CO2 emissions
1
Material can be pumped out easily for maintenance and inspections
0
Applicable to bolted connections in monopile transition pieces only
