Theatre : Technology, Innovation and R&D
Stephen will cover the current state-of-the-art in subsea pipeline repair systems. Subsea pipelines are subjected to a range of environmental factors that can cause them to require maintenance.
The session will include details of actual examples from recent pipeline repair projects, plus a glimpse of the future with the development of a new robotic friction stir welding system at TWI.
The UK manufacturing and construction sectors are reliant on imports of metals. With most value-chains reaching back to China and further, these imports are increasingly being buffeted by macroeconomics, trade…
