The branch welcomes four new committee members to help the running and organising of meetings/events to improve what is offered for members.
Jessica Tjandra, a PhD student at Imperial College, London, who will be supporting the events officer, Paul Brooks. Kabir Raheem, bp, who will be acting as engagement officer, and two overseas members, Gani Sultanov, Oceaneering, Oman, and Doaa Sallam, bp, Egypt, who will be on a working group looking at web-based involvement and marketing.
The November presentation is by Roland Anderson, Axcess Corrosion, who will focus on new solutions to problems related to intrusive corrosion monitoring systems. This will be an opportunity to learn about and to evaluate innovations relating to the safety of intrusive corrosion monitoring devices.
The talk will cover some examples of incidents ranging in severity from loss of containment to fatality and look at the design changes that can provide new layers of protection and prevent reoccurrence. The specific products covered includes retrieval equipment for monitoring devices changeouts under pressure as well as the access fittings that house the devices. The potential for repurposing access fittings and how to deal with them if they are no longer required for a monitoring programme will also be discussed.
This will be an in-person event at the usual venue, the Lancaster Hall Hotel, Bayswater, London.
