MetriCorr subcontracted for Ørsted’s Hornsea 2

MetriCorr subcontracted by NGI to deliver the corrosion and cathodic protection remote monitoring system for Ørsted’s Hornsea 2

NGI – Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, has appointed MetriCorr to be their trusted subcontractor to deliver the corrosion and cathodic protection monitoring system being part of the overall structural monitoring campaign of Ørsted’s Hornsea 2 development. The corrosion and cathodic protection monitoring system will be deployed at six foundations and includes sensors for general corrosion, localized pitting corrosion and paint degradation as well as cathodic protection with a dedicated data acquisition system that automatically pushes data to Ørsted servers on shore.  

The Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm in the North Sea is designed to power over 1.3 million households when completed in 2022. The wind farm, set to become the largest in the world, is being developed by leading renewable energy company, Ørsted and will make a significant contribution to their vision of creating a world that runs entirely on green energy.

We are proud to be selected by NGI and Ørsted to deliver the corrosion and cathodic protection monitoring system for Hornsea 2. We believe our track record with Ørsted – now having delivered more than 1200 sensors and associated data acquisition systems for Ørsted foundations – has made the difference to be selected for this significant task says MetriCorr CEO Lars Vendelbo Nielsen.

We are indeed looking forward to work seamlessly together with NGI and to provide the best in class monitoring systems for Ørsted’s asset integrity management.

CeoCor 2019 Corrosion Conference a great success

MetriCorr successfully organized the CeoCor 2019 Corrosion Conference in beautiful Tivoli Garden

130 delegates enjoyed the 2019 edition of CeoCor, which was held during May 21-24 in the beautiful Tivoli garden right in the hart of Copenhagen. The latest research of the highest quality within the field of corrosion and cathodic protection of pipeline systems was presented alongside joyful evenings in Copenhagen city center. The congress dinner was enjoyed at Gemyse while world class magician and illusionist Jan Hellesøe astonished the audience with his breath-taking mind manipulations before the dance floor was fully occupied to the equilibristic 60’ies rockabilly tones of The Shakers.

I have returned home tired and very satisfied. Thanks to all of you, we have had a wonderful CEOCOR 2019 in Copenhagen.

Brian Wyatt, CeoCor president
