Anode installation on a pile — our team carrying out genuine field work in full PPE.
In-house diving and marine installation teams — vessel and offshore installation, commissioning and system optimisation, coordinated as one engagement rather than handed to a subcontractor.
A CP system designed and manufactured correctly that still needs fitting by people who understand what they're installing — not a generic marine contractor working from a drawing they didn't help produce.
Our divers and commercial vessel are certified to carry out all aspects of marine and offshore installation and inspection work.
Video and still photography inspection, hull coating inspection, hull cleaning.
Anode and propeller removal and installation, de-fouling of propellers and rudders.
Bottom obstruction and hazard survey, jetty and pier inspection, obstruction and debris removal.
In-house underwater cutting and welding capability for installation and repair work.
Inspection of tanks, culverts, drains and tunnels by certified personnel.
Recovery services as part of our broader marine and offshore capability.

Anode installation on a pile — our team carrying out genuine field work in full PPE.
Most competitors design or manufacture. For installation & commissioning, we do both, plus installation, commissioning and lifecycle monitoring — coordinated as one engagement.
Current demand calculation, anode/electrode placement, drawings.
Anodes cast through our regional manufacturing network; equipment engineered in.
In-house diving and marine installation teams, or yard-coordinated fitting.
System energised, potentials verified against the −850 mV criterion.
Scheduled monitoring, inspection, and life extension as the system ages.
CCME-MCPS was engaged on behalf of the vessel owner after NOVA 1's impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) system was inspected on arrival at dry dock and found non-functional — the hull was unprotected at the start of the docking, with an urgent requirement identified.
Three options were assessed: replacing the ICCP power supply unit alone (a six-week lead time, and one that wouldn't have resolved inadequate current output and anode placement even once fixed), a hybrid ICCP/SACP system as the ideal long-term solution, or a full sacrificial anode (SACP) system as an immediate fix. The client selected the full SACP system to align with the drydock schedule, with an ICCP retrofit planned for a future docking.
Vessel data was reviewed in consultation with our UK engineering partner, MCPS, and a full distribution plan prepared covering the hull, rudder, skeg, bilge keels, thruster and sea chests — designed and validated against international standards for immediate protection.
At the time, our regional GCC foundry was mobilised for urgent casting. DNV Type Approved aluminium anodes were produced within 24 hours, QA/QC completed, and the anodes transported directly to the dry dock. Installation — around 250 weld-on sacrificial anodes — was carried out within the vessel's existing scheduled slot, guided and supervised by our corrosion engineers. (CCME-MCPS manufacturing today is delivered through our controlled UAE and Gulf capability and partner foundries.)
In-house certified commercial divers and vessel — installation and inspection work isn't handed to a third party mid-project.
Yes — yard-coordinated fitting within an existing programme is a regular part of the work, particularly for emergency or retrofit installations.
Yes — every system is commissioned with potentials verified against the −850 mV criterion and documented before handover.
Some retrofit designs can be installed via ROV or specially designed bracket without diver intervention, depending on the structure.
