The increasing demand for affordable and environmentally friendly electric energy, accelerates the global plans for offshore wind energy plants. Due to the growing number of wind farm installations, for example, along US coatlines, the need for efficient repair and maintenance of the corrosion protection coatings will significantly increase over time. Many structures are already, locally damaged during their errection. Modern repair solutions have been developed over the last years, in order to keep up with the growing need for maintenance and repair of the atmospheric exposure zones of offshore windfarms. Material and process- efficiency are key in an area where labour and materials are extremely costly. In order to carry out highly efficient and durable repair jobs of the corrosion protection coating systems and therefore to ensure the extended lifetime of offshore wind powerplants, a modern repair coating and procedure has been developed. This paper compares the new single layer, direct to metal coating with the previously used standard products, in terms of corrosion protection performance (according to ISO 203401, ISO 46242, ISO 6272-13 etc.), application methods and complexity, the overall physical-chemical properties and in terms of overall process efficiency. The positive transformation in terms of occupational safety and environmental impact were amongst the central criteria of the project.
