Delivering Long-Term Marine Corrosion Protection with Advanced HCL Pile Wrapping

Protecting Critical Jetty Infrastructure at ADNOC Gas NGL Jetty

Service
Marine Pile Wrapping & Corrosion Protection

The Challenge

Marine structures operating within splash zone environments are exposed to continuous saltwater, tidal movement, UV radiation, and marine growth—conditions that significantly accelerate corrosion and compromise structural integrity over time.

Following a detailed inspection, 32 jetty piles across the NGL Jetty's trestle piles, anchor platforms, and expansion loop areas were identified for rehabilitation. The objective was to prevent further deterioration, strengthen critical infrastructure, and extend the operational life of the jetty using a corrosion protection system that could be installed efficiently with minimal environmental impact.

Our Solutions

POSCO implemented a comprehensive marine corrosion protection programme using the HCL Pile Wrapping System to safeguard the identified jetty piles against long-term environmental exposu

The project included marine growth removal, surface preparation, primer application, petrolatum tape wrapping, and installation of HDPE protective jackets. Designed specifically for splash zone applications, the HCL wrapping system delivers durable corrosion protection while requiring minimal surface preparation and avoiding abrasive blasting, making it ideal for sensitive marine environments.

The selected system also enabled faster installation through pre-marked Smart Bands, reducing manpower requirements and improving project execution efficiency without compromising long-term asset protection.

Highlights

  • 32 jetty piles protected
  • 737.65 m² of marine pile wrapping completed
  • 53 marine primers applied
  • 412 petrolatum tape rolls installed
  • 64 HDPE protective jackets fitted
  • 15-yea15-year manufacturer and contractor warranty

Results Delivered

The rehabilitation programme significantly enhanced the durability and reliability of critical marine infrastructure while reducing future maintenance requirements.

Key project outcomes included:

  • Long-term corrosion protection for splash zone structures
  • Improved structural integrity of existing jetty piles
  • Reduced marine growth and environmental deterioration
  • Faster project execution through efficient installation methods
  • Minimal environmental impact without abrasive blasting
  • Extended asset service life with lower lifecycle maintenance costs
