Corrosion Protection Engineered For The Platform It Has To Protect
We are a specialist engineering company for marine corrosion protection and biofouling control — designing, manufacturing, installing and supporting cathodic protection, marine growth prevention and shaft grounding systems for naval, commercial, offshore and infrastructure assets.

Engineering Grounded In Shipyard Reality
Sargam Cathodic Protection LLP, based in Chennai, works on a single class of problem: seawater attacks steel, and marine growth blocks the systems that keep a vessel running. Both are electrochemical, and both are solved by getting current, potential and hardware right for one specific platform.
A current distribution study is only useful if the arrangement can be built into that hull, in that drydock window, with cofferdams that pass a pressure test and cabling the yard can route. We carry the work from platform-specific design through manufacture, installation support, commissioning and service — on newbuildings and on retrofits alike.
Engineered in India
Indigenous Capability For Mission-Critical Platforms
Some of this work cannot be bought off a shelf. Naval platforms need corrosion protection that also respects the vessel's underwater electrical signature, and that requirement changes how the system is modelled, arranged and controlled.
Sargam developed indigenous Low Signature ICCP capability for Indian naval platforms, and introduced Active Shaft Grounding to hold shaft potential rather than simply bond it. Both were engineered in India, with computer modelling of corrosion dynamics and vessel signatures used to arrive at the arrangement before anything is cut or welded.
Each configuration is validated against the platform requirement and confirmed through the project technical offer.
Capability and applications
Six Systems, Engineered Around One Platform
Cathodic protection, marine growth control and shaft grounding address different duties, but are selected against the same hull, operating profile and service life.
Commercial Shipping
Systems selected for the trade, coating condition and survey cycle, at newbuilding or retrofit.
- Hulls and appendages
- Sea chests and thruster tunnels
- Ballast and service tanks
- Seawater cooling systems
Offshore and Floating Assets
Units that stay on station, where limited access and design life drive the arrangement.
- FPSOs and floating units
- Fixed offshore structures
- Floating docks
- Risers and submarine pipelines
Marine and Industrial Infrastructure
Fixed shoreline and industrial assets in seawater and brackish service.
- Jetties and berths
- Harbour structures
- Pipelines
- Industrial seawater assets
