Anodes on Jackets

[GregLamberson]

Heh Guys

A question, I'm working on a project where we are installing anodes on subsea (shallow water - 6 meters) jackets. The anodes are welded on.

Apart from NDT of the welds, are there any functional checks that need to be made on the anodes after attaching them to the legs and before the jacket is installed? Thanks.

Yes - make sure that they haven't been painted and that any masking has been removed. After that, the next functional check will be potential measurements on the structure when it is immersed.
