valuable in mitigating maintenance challenges.

The RedLineIPS SmartPad System, developed by Cogbill Construction, represents a major innovation in cor- rosion prevention technology for off- shore and coastal facilities. Designed speci?cally for these environments, the system addresses the unique challenges posed by CUPS with un- matched durability, ef?ciency, and cost-effectiveness. By eliminating metal-to-metal contact, preventing moisture retention, and simplifying maintenance, the SmartPad System ensures the long-term safety and reli- ability of critical infrastructure.

With its proven success in offshore applications and adoption by major industry players, the SmartPad Sys- tem is setting a new standard in pipe support technology for maritime and coastal industries. It is not just a prod- uct—it is a solution purpose-built to protect infrastructure in the most de- manding environments.
