Overview
Structural Integrity Design and Validation Technologies 2018 will bring together experts from across the field of Non Destructive Testing (NDT), structural integrity, operations and maintenance. Attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of NDT in context of different applications through various cross industry case studies. Learn about new and existing techniques, NDT reliability and validation, as well as real time monitoring solutions for hazardous environments or equipment that is difficult to take out of service.
Attend our exclusive networking dinner for the chance to meet new contacts and broaden your contact base within the industry. Take part in interactive panel discussions for the opportunity to ask experts about your own engineering challenges and how they could be addressed. Find innovative approaches, emerging solutions and new technologies to improve your inspection processes and the use of the associated data.
NEW TOPICS FOR 2018 INCLUDE:
- Hear about non-destructive examinations from the nuclear regulator’s perspective
- Understand how engineers are predicting potential errors for more accurate NDT in an offshore environment
- Find out how SABIC UK Petrochemicals are successfully carrying out accurate real time monitoring for their ageing assets
- Learn how Network Rail combine multiple data sources for modelling risk and improved asset performance
- Get a thorough overview of the latest technical developments for NDE, including Full Matrix Capture and Total Focusing Method Ultrasonics, from BAE Systems Maritime
Hear insights and expertise from senior engineers across Power Generation, Nuclear, Automotive, Aerospace, Rail, Marine, Construction and Manufacturing industries.
Plus, continue the conversations and make new connections at the dedicated networking dinner at the end of day 1!
