RetroLink™
Aluminum anode retrofit string for shallow-water structures

Ideally the last two anodes of the RetroLink string will hang in the mud on bottom

Ideally, the last two anodes of the string will hang in the mud on the bottom; this increases the the current efficiency.

The clamp-on stand-off can be used for vertical members as well.

RetroLink installed in the Gulf of Mexico

Entire structures in the shallows of the Gulf of Mexico have been retroffited using the RetroLink system.

RetroLink installed on an offhsore platform

Clamp-on stand-offs have to be selected beforehand for specific jobs. Sizes are available from 6 in to 36 in.

RetroLink installed on a wharf

Continuity is maintained by the leader wire welded to the stand-off.

RetroLink installed on a dock

With anodes resting on bottom, the string is quite stable through the splash zone.

RetroLink installed on a jetty

Once the stand-off has been welded, and the anode string has been attached to the leader assembly, the boat just backs away.

RetroLink system designed to last 3-5 years

The average design life for a RetroLink system is 3-5 years.

After the RetroLink is installed, the offshore personnel responsible must conduct continuity testing
