Best practice guide to prevention and repair of structural failures
This seminar is back for a second time this year due to popular demand! Over two intensive days, key specialists and experienced speakers will provide practical advice on the latest methods and techniques of causes of fatigue, identifying the signs of structural failure and implementing preventive measures that are efficient, effective and also meet industry standards.
New methods and techniques are constantly being developed for monitoring structural problems, as well as finding better solutions to identify prior warning of fatigue failure. Understanding best practice methods for hull maintenance and failure prevention is so crucial – this seminar will examine the implications of collision grounding on hull structures, the impact of wave loads on the life cycle of vessels, and some of the new discoveries in preventing stress corrosion and fatigue on hulls.
This highly practical two-day seminar will explore some of the challenges of discovering fatigue stress and prevention and repair solutions. It will give advice on the latest policy initiatives from the IMO and analyse advances in ship design.
Come ready to share experiences and debate the latest trends and techniques, as well as explore new prevention methods and the benefits of using modern on-board monitoring equipment.
