Inspection, maintenance and structural integrity assessment of technological structures and pipeline systems
Inspection, maintenance and structural integrity assessment of technological structures and pipeline systems
About the seminar
Ensuring the serviceability and reliability of industrial, technical and civil structures is necessary for non-problematic and safe well-being of human society. It is our general duty to keep our knowledge state of the art and ensure their successful application in the processes of design, operation, inspection and maintenance of mechanical static equipment and technological structures. Modern asset integrity management system is based on correct implementation of Risk Based Inspection and Reliability Centred Maintenance methodologies. Therefore, it is very important that relevant technical staff are regularly familiarized with new technical solutions and product in this technical area.
The seminar "Inspection, maintenance and structural integrity assessment of technological structures and pipeline systems" focuses on new procedures, new technologies and methodologies in the field of inspection, maintenance and also on the serviceability and reliability of mechanical static equipment and technological structures. During the seminar the application of new and existing NDT methods including procedures of acceptance of flaws assessment are discussed.
Who the seminar is meant for
This seminar is especially intended for operators, design engineers, constructors, process engineers and all staff who are involved in procedures of design, construction and also of planning and performing of inspection and maintenance of mechanical static equipment and technological structures. The seminar is also suitable for managers, technical officers, sales officers and other persons interested in this technical area.
The aim of the seminar
The main aim of this seminar is to share knowledge and experience together between industry experts. This event is a great way to gain an overview of new methods, procedures and legislative requirements. During the seminar there are active discussions by participants about operational problems.
