Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2241676A1] A corrosion inhibiting anode assembly (1) for use with an underwater structure comprises a generally planar main frame (2) for lying on the bed of a body of water, a plurality of spaced-apart elongate anode bars (13) fixedly secured by respective stand-off supports (14) to the main frame (2) and extending in one or more planes that are generally parallel to that of the main frame (2), and at least one wing frame (3, 4, 20, 21, 22, 23) pivotally attached to the main frame (2). The wing frame (3, 4, 20 - 23) comprises a plurality of spaced-apart elongate anode bars (13), and is capable of being pivoted from a folded condition to an extended condition in which the anode bars (13) of the wing frame (3, 4, 20 - 23) are generally more remote from those of the main frame (2) than in said folded condition, Wing frame supports (9, 10) are connected to the wing frame (3, 4, 20 - 23) and arranged to support the wing frame (3, 4, 20 - 23) in said extended condition. A plurality of wing frame assemblies may be provided.
