| Estimated Completion |
September 2003 |
| Description |
The project had
developed criteria for the level of inspection needed for composite
structures used offshore and to develop an understanding of the availability
of Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) tools that could be economically applied
to assess the integrity performance and safety of critical primary
structures. A one-day symposium was held on November 21, 2002 in Houston.
The key issues for the research and development were the following:
Designing and Building Inspectability; Passive/Active Insitu Monitoring
(underwater and downhole), and Reliability of Inspection Methods in Specific
Applications. |
| Progress |
The workshop was successful;
the project is completed. |
