LSE Lunch & Learn Underwater Explosive Ordnance – Risk, Mitigation and Logistics
The marine environment presents a complex challenge for agencies dealing with the risk of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and developing risk mitigation strategies, tasks which are exacerbated by poor record keeping of historical data and the immense amount of airborne or naval ordnance that has either been deployed during times of conflict or dumped at sea. If the ordnance did not function as intended, then it is described as UXO and even after many years,may still explode on physical contact and certainly represents a challenge to organizations that carry out subsea operations in the marine environment.
Presention given by Richard Battrick FSEE FIExpE CEng
Richard is a Fellow of the Society for Environmental Engineers (FSEE), a Fellow of the Institute of Explosive Engineers (FIExpE) and a Chartered Engineer (CEng). He initiated the CIRIA C-754 UK industry guide for dealing with UXO in the marine environment, is a former Royal Navy Bomb Disposal Commanding Officer and is the technical lead for the IMAS 09.60 underwater EO expert focus group.

The Leading Edge of Value-Based Subsea Inspection
We have experienced a tremendous rate of development in technological capability which has enhanced the efficiency of our operations. These include a significant decline in the cost of data processing and storage,
miniaturisation of subsea sensors, increased computing capacity, quick, reliable, wireless communications, increased utilization of subsea robotics and sophisticated data analytics and artificial intelligence. However,
within a cost constrained environment stakeholders must drive development towards a value based solution
The Society for Underwater Technology, The Hydrographic Society in Scotland and The International Marine Contractors Association invite you to our popular annual joint seminar.

- The impact of the Low Carbon Transition to Technologies and Contractors in the subsea sector
Aberdeen Evening Meeting – Pipeline Management
Pipeline Management
Presentations from:
Adrian Griffiths, Shell
Subsea Intelligent Pigging Click here for the presentation
As a conclusion to Shell’s Pipeline Integrity Project, the inspection of the Penguins production pipelines in 2016 presented the opportunity to combine many of the lessons leaned over the previous 5 years of planning and executing similar inspections from a DSV. The subsea launch and receive of the infield 10” Pipeline, and the subsea launch and platform receive of the 16” Pipeline each presented technical, safety and resource challenges.
