Corrosion Inspection
NACE certified offshore inspection services since 1986
An introduction
For over 20 years, Deepwater Corrosion Services has been leading the way in offshore corrosion inspection. From our very first topside Level 1 inspection in 1986 to our own in-house research into new subsea pipeline survey methodologies, Deepwater has always maintained a steady presence in the Gulf of Mexico, and more recently, other world markets.
After hurricanes Rita and Katrina in 2005, Deepwater's inspection crew was called upon heavily for post-hurricane structural inspection and reporting. Since then, we have been active in the post-hurricane market every season. A complete list of our Inspection services in on the right:
