Manufacturing

Aluminium, zinc and magnesium anodes, custom castings and fabricated assemblies — manufactured through our regional manufacturing network, not sourced off a shelf and relabelled.

DNV Type Approved — A-GuardRegional manufacturing networkCustom castingsFabricated assemblies
The problem this solves

A project that needs anodes to a real engineering specification, not a generic catalogue part — a specific alloy, a non-standard casting, or manufacturing capacity close enough to the project to matter for the schedule.

What you receive
  • Anodes cast to project specification
  • Material certification and traceability
  • Dimensional and weight verification
  • Packing list and delivery documentation
  • DNV Type Approval certificate where applicable
Our regional manufacturing network

Distributed capability, one engineering standard.

Regional manufacturing keeps delivery aligned with dry-docking and installation windows, not the other way round.

Saudi Arabia

Active regional manufacturing capability, delivered through our joint venture in the Kingdom.

UAE — Dubai Maritime City

Active manufacturing and fabrication capability, alongside workshop and installation support.

United Kingdom

Our strategic engineering partner's own foundry — DNV Type Approved for A-Guard aluminium alloy.

Thailand

Future manufacturing capability, planned as Southeast Asian demand develops.

Peru

Future manufacturing capability, planned as South American demand develops.

Manufacturing standards

Approved, not just claimed.

StandardApplies to
DNV Type ApprovalA-Guard aluminium alloy (Certificate TAS000011M) — applies across our regional manufacturing network
ISO 9001:2015Held by our UK strategic engineering partner's certified group (Certificate 239408)
DNV-RP-B401 / ISO 15589-2 / NORSOK M-503Alloy composition designed within tolerance of all three simultaneously

DNV Type Approval on A-Guard aluminium alloy applies regardless of which facility in our regional manufacturing network cast the anode.

How we deliver

One team, five stages, no handoffs.

Most competitors design or manufacture. For manufacturing, we do both, plus installation, commissioning and lifecycle monitoring — coordinated as one engagement.

01

Design

Current demand calculation, anode/electrode placement, drawings.

02

Manufacturing

Anodes cast through our regional manufacturing network; equipment engineered in.

03

Installation

In-house diving and marine installation teams, or yard-coordinated fitting.

04

Commissioning

System energised, potentials verified against the −850 mV criterion.

05

Service

Scheduled monitoring, inspection, and life extension as the system ages.

Proof, not just a promise.

Ports and Harbour Anode Supply — Track Record

Beyond individual project narratives, our sacrificial anode manufacturing and supply record spans close to sixty named ports, harbours, jetties and terminals across the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Netherlands and Sweden — including Belfast Harbour, Dublin Port, Port of Copenhagen, Gothenburg Harbour, Portsmouth, Shoreham Port and Teesport among them.

Each project follows the same process: specification confirmed against the client's CP design or our own engineering assessment, anodes cast through our regional manufacturing network, material certification and dimensional verification completed, and delivery coordinated against the client's installation or dry-dock schedule.

This is presented as a track record, not a single project story — the value is in the breadth and consistency across nearly sixty engagements, not one narrative.

Frequently asked

Common manufacturing questions

Do you manufacture everything in-house?+

We manufacture anodes ourselves through our regional manufacturing network. Everything else is engineered in through our strategic technology partnership — we select the right equipment for the application.

Is DNV Type Approval valid for anodes cast at any of your facilities?+

Yes — the A-Guard DNV Type Approval extends across our regional manufacturing network.

Can you produce bespoke or non-standard anode designs?+

Yes — custom castings and fabricated assemblies are a regular part of the work.

What's your typical manufacturing lead time?+

Regional manufacturing helps reduce overseas freight dependency and can support shorter, more responsive delivery programmes.
