Vortex Robot for Rapid Low Cost Scanning and Improved Non-Destructive Testing of Large Concrete Structures (VORTEXSCAN)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2016,
Large public infrastructure facilities around the world like dams, cooling towers and bridges use cement as the main building material. Although made from a durable material many of these large assets have begun to age and are in need of periodic inspection to ensure their integrity. Current inspection routine involves setting up scaffolds that have to be moved around for personnel to reach to the ...

High Temperature Pipe Structural Health Monitoring System utilising Phased Array probes on TOFD configuration (HOTPHASEDARRAY)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Uncertainties in the calculation of the lifetime of superheated steam pipes in power plants that contain a minor defect create situations with potentially catastrophic results, typically costing €120 million per event. Superheated steam pipes are periodically inspected and depending on their defects sizes they may be replaced after a lifetime assessment has been performed. Common errors in defect ...

Prevention and detection of fouling on ship hulls (CLEANSHIP)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 août 2014,
"Biofouling is the adhesion of biological materials to hard surfaces, such as ship hulls, in a marine environment and it can commence within seconds of the immersion of a ship’s hull in the sea. After 6 months without protection against marine fouling deposits, biofouling growth increases the drag on a hull so much as to cause a ship to use up to 40% more fuel and correspondingly to produce 40% m ...
