Abstract In this paper, by discussing the characteristics of the beach and shallow sea marine environment, combining with engineering design and application, studying the anti-corrosion coating and coating technology of the outer pipe of the pipeline, and analyzing the design of the concrete counterweight layer of the submarine pipeline. According to the submarine pipeline of the environment, structural characteristics, construction methods, etc, the reasons for the damage of the external protective coating under certain conditions are explained, so as to select the external protective coating more reasonably, and provide data for the anti-corrosion and coating selection of the marine pipeline.
