Collisions with Cobots
Whilst the argument for utilising robots in terms of ‘a labourer that never sleeps’ and ‘improvement in quality through consistent output’ is well established, they also lack the dexterity and adaptability of a human worker.
Bristol Series – Corrosion in the Power Industry
Giuseppe will focus on two widespread corrosion mechanisms that routinely lead to large BI claims in the power industry: Corrosion Under Insulation, and Microbiologically Induced Corrosion. He will discuss what causes these degradation mechanisms, as well as how to recognise and prevent them.
Domestic Heating Oil: Where, Why & How it Escapes
Patrick will look at the various ways in which domestic heating oil can escape into the environment and what should be done to prevent these leaks.
Bristol Series – Push-fit Fittings & Statistical Analysis
Gerald will discuss examples where Hawkins has investigated escapes of water caused by a fault in a push-fit fitting, and how laboratory inspection can be conducted to generate data that allows us to compare the characteristics of exhibit and exemplar fittings.
