Centre for Marine Biofouling and Corrosion
Reliable and practical solutions to impacts caused by biofouling and corrosion



Technology Testing and Coating Selection
Through rigorous testing, we enable our clients to select the most appropriate biofouling and corrosion management technologies and operating plans for their infrastructure.
Selecting a biofouling or corrosion management technology is challenging due to a lack of impartial data on which to base a sound decision. The implications of selecting an inferior or mis-matched technology are considerable in terms of operational risks, H&S and legislative non-compliance.
We de-risk this process by testing and evaluating biofouling and corrosion management technology with a commercially-friendly service, enabling our clients to select the best technology with confidence, supported by impartial data.
Biofouling and Corrosion Control R&D
We accelerate research and development (R&D) of new biofouling and corrosion management technologies to enable our clients to reach the market faster, and with confidence.
R&D on biofouling and corrosion prevention technologies can be hampered due to the challenges of in-field demonstration of efficacy, and relatively long product lifecycles which can require long development periods.
We specialise in delivering cost effective R&D programmes which accelerate our clients journey through the technology readiness levels (TRLs).
From laboratory-based proof of concept studies, to in-situ demonstrations in representative environmental conditions, we can provide the R&D support to take your technology to where it needs to be.
