Houston Integrity & Risk Assessment of Pipelines and SCRs
28 September, 2018
Delivering safe, reliable and cost-effective solutions to complex and challenging problems is the ultimate goal in our industry. Currently, the codes and standards lack specific guidance on geotechnical soil modelling for pipelines and SCRs (steel catenary risers) and strength analyses. Therefore, SUT-US is organizing this 1 -day workshop to provide a platform to stimulate a discussion and interaction between industry and researchers, and highlight the current state-of-practice and knowledge gaps in pipelines and SCRs.
Workshop topics:
- Current practice in soil modelling for pipelines and SCRs, and knowledge gaps
- Implications of knowledge gaps in the current practice on delivery of safe, reliable, and cost effective engineering solutions
- Recent developments made towards addressing knowledge gaps and performance feedback
- Field monitoring and evaluation of predictive tools
- Mitigation and control methods
- Future activities needed to address knowledge gaps
