The May meeting of the Young Engineers programme was held at the CB&I offices in London on the 16th May. The topic was coatings which was presented by David Mobbs and was warmly received by the enthusiastic audience. The presentation covered the high priority areas of coating including the requirement to qualify products to standards, the standards and what they mean, the testing methods required to achieve this qualification, and also looked at some case histories of coating applications good and bad.
Prior to the presentation the case study for the programme was presented to the delegates by Richard Carroll of Shell, who highlighted the importance of working together in the teams to deliver the required information as detailed in the document. In a change to previous years there will be only one case study for all the teams with each team giving a presentation in a competition to be delivered at the November ICorr London branch meeting.
This year the case study covers a number of areas in which the students are being trained including, materials, coatings, CP, failures, and the management of change. The mentors this year are John Boran, Rob Doggert and Chris Googan, and the teams will meet their mentors in the coming weeks to get started on the case study. A Linkedin page and drop box, have been set up for the teams to help them with this process.
The next meeting on Painting, Fire Protection and Linings will take place on the 29th June again being held at CB&I offices on London.
Again we would like to thank our hosts CB&I especially Sadegh Parvisi for organising the venue, our sponsors BP and our speakers, organising committee and delegates without whom we would not be able to stage this event.

Institute News
The 2025-2026 Young ICorr committee has been almost completely formed, with a few new members joining us for our next meeting at the end of March.
We held a very successful event in collaboration with the Northwest Branch, and we’re looking forward to holding more events in the student lecture series with them in the future.
Work has begun on both the Young Engineers Programme for
2026 and a new biannual Young ICorr event to be announced
(Watch this Space!)
Foundation work has also begun on the mentoring programme, which will be rolled out later in the year.
As we’re in the early days of the new Young ICorr Committee, there’s nothing huge to report on this month, but there are lots of exciting developments happening behind the scenes that we can’t wait to share with you!
