Deepwater
Deepwater products protect assets from corrosion by solving corrosion problems and improving anti-corrosion technology to reduce maintenance costs and preserve the integrity of the infrastructure.
Why use Deepwater?
A variety of corrosion-resistant treatments provide reliable, long term service in the harsh operating environments associated with offshore oil and gas production and coastal process facilities.
I-Rod is durable, extruded thermoplastic cut into a half-round rod is the key component in all of Deepwater’s I-Rod brand pipe supports. Anti-corrosion pipe-support assembly for I-beam supports.
Nu-Bolt™ assembly combines the half-round I-Rod support with a modified pipe U-Bolt. A variety of corrosion-resistant treatments provide reliable, long term service in the harsh operating environments associated with offshore oil and gas production and coastal process facilities.
How I-Rod Supports Work
I-ROD MATERIAL SUPPORTS THE PIPE AND ELIMINATES MOISTURE
The half round shape of the I-Rod against the round pipe minimizes the contact point. I-Rod Material is water-shedding and exceptionally strong, so it can support the pipe without deforming or creeping over time, repelling moisture and protecting the pipe coating.
BROKEN AND CRUSHED IMITATIONS-
I-Rod Material is extremely durable. It can support enormous amounts of weight. While conducting offshore inspections, our technicians routinely discover imitations of I-Rod that have broken or crushed, leaving pipes dangerously unprotected. Usually, these are low-grade imitations, but some use high-quality materials (Delrin and Teflon for example) with the incorrect material properties.
