Mooring Anchors
Proper mooring anchor maintenance is crucial for the safety of vessels and the durability of the mooring system. Over time, anchors are exposed to harsh marine environments, including saltwater, shifting tides, and varying seabed conditions, which can cause corrosion, wear, or weakening of the anchor and its components. Regular inspections are essential to detect early […]
Zinc Anodes
Zinc anodes are a vital component in protecting metal parts of boats, ships, and other marine equipment from corrosion, a process known as galvanic corrosion. When a metal object, such as a boat hull or propeller, is submerged in water, it can corrode due to electrochemical reactions between the metal and the surrounding environment. Zinc […]
Pile Wrapping
Pile wrapping is a protective method used to shield dock and pier pilings from the damaging effects of marine environments, including wood-boring organisms, corrosion, and UV degradation. This technique involves encasing the piling with durable, impermeable materials, typically made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or PVC, to create a barrier against water, oxygen, and pests. The […]
