RetroBuoy Jr™
Impressed Current Cathodic Protection for Life Extension for
Smaller Structures in conjunction with Deepwater Corrosion Inc.
State-of-the-art impressed current technology for smaller structures,
docks and jetties. Compact size for installation from small vessels.

RetroBuoy Jr. in situ, protecting a pier structure.
The semi-remote location maximizes current.
Product OverviewRetroBuoy Jr. is a smaller, more compact version of the standard RetroBuoy™. Where the RetroBuoy’s 400 Amp output capability makes it ideal for large structures and FPSO’s, the RetroBuoy Jr.’s 200 Amp output makes it ideal for smaller structures, docks, and jetties. RetroBuoy Jr. has a single buoyancy module that can be equipped with anode rods to provide current ratings from 100 to 200 Amperes for up to a 20-year design life, depending on the needs of the asset to be protected. The compact size facilitates installation from small support vessels, making the system ideal for inshore dock and jetty type applications, as well as bridge-connected offshore platform complexes with power. RetroBuoy systems cut retrofit costs by delivering more cathodic protection, more efficiently. One typical RetroBuoy Jr. sled can protect up to 40,000 square feet of steel. The conventional alternative protection would need 16 tons (US) Applications
