CorrosionRADAR Ltd has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Bureau Veritas in the Middle East to deliver an integrated solution that helps oil and gas companies manage Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI). Bureau Veritas is the first organisation in the region to integrate the CorrosionRADAR® predictive corrosion monitoring system with its Opex
solutions portfolio.
According to the company, the collaboration which captures the expertise of both organisations and aims to deliver a quality controlled end-to-end solution for asset integrity management, signals new momentum in the Middle East to adopt digitalisation to solve the challenges presented by CUI. It comes at a time when industry confidence and investment in digital systems for risk-based inspection (RBI) is accelerating and an accurate and reliable data-driven response for CUI management is achievable.
The automated solution combines real-time field data and predictive analytics generated via CorrosionRADAR’s wireless sensing waveguides under the asset insulation, with Bureau Veritas field experience, quality assurance, integrity and risk-based inspection expertise to save costs through prioritising of maintenance activities, repair and rehabilitation schedules. For operators, this means informed decision making, optimised inspection and maintenance programmes, safer and more reliable operations with decreased risk, and more production uptime. The integrated solution is equally suitable for existing brownfield plants and incorporation in new greenfield build, concluded the company.
CorrosionRADAR is planning a series of online discussions and workshops for companies in the Middle East who are interested in learning more about digital collaborations for combatting CUI. Please contact James Rosenshine, Head of Business Development, CorrosionRADAR, if you would like to join an event.
Those members that live or work in the North East area of England may recall that Neil Wilds and his committee ran a very successful ICorr NE Branch with technical evenings and social events for several years. Sadly, the branch has not been active over the last three years and ICorr are keen to reinvigorate activity in the NE of England. We are seeking members to become involved in forming a new committee for the NE Branch, and would request anybody that is interested to contact either myself or David Mobbs on the emails below. The intent is to keep time involvement to a minimum as we know everyone is very busy.
If you feel you could spare an hour or so every few months then please consider getting involved – you will find it rewarding. Email: president@icorr.org, david.mobbs@c-i-m.co.uk
The branch will again be holding face to face meeting at the Lancaster Hall Hotel, starting with a joint meeting with the London Materials Society (LMS) in October. As the virtual technical meetings held over the past 18 months allowed a wider participation than just from the London area, the branch are planning to also stream this meeting, so those from other parts of the UK, or abroad will be able to join in. Dates and details of speakers, can be found on the diary page and on the ICorr website.
As we continue developing The Institute of Corrosion’s online presence both via the website and our increasingly popular social media channels our attention has turned to the user experience people enjoy (or don’t enjoy) when they interact with our organisation online.
With traffic increasing across all platforms, it is now important that when people do visit the website, they can find what they want quickly and easily. It is also important that our members’ experience is an enhanced one and that there are benefits in terms of resources and functionality. Our overall aim is to create a ‘best in class’ website for both the public and our members with an array of new features aimed at creating a better user experience.
The starting point for this part of the project is to find out what those new features need to be, and you will have hopefully taken part in the recent members survey to air your views on what you feel is important and what would be beneficial. This feedback will be vital in steering our thinking in future developments, so thank you to everyone who took part. We will be assessing the responses over the coming weeks to develop an overall development plan. If you missed the opportunity to take part in the members survey but would like to voice an opinion, please email admin@icorr.org and we will ensure your comments are taken on board.
The overall digital strategy continues to deliver some encouraging results, monthly visitor numbers to the website continue to be strong with over 2000 visitors a month using the website.
The Institute’s social media channels continue to go from strength to strength with over 6400 followers on Linkedin. Our social media posts have been enhanced by a series of video snippets promoting video presentations at branch events and the CED Day, which are now available on the website. Video content is an area which we plan to develop, so if you have and conferences or events which you think may be suitable, let us know and we can discuss setting up a campaign.
As members you can help by liking, sharing and engaging with the content that we put onto social media. We are always interested in potential new content so If there is anything that you would like to see more of, please let us know via the usual channels or a direct message on social media.
