Global Co-operation for Advanced Automated Mobile Pipeline Technology

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Sustainable Pipeline Systems Ltd is developing advanced technology which will allow onshore pipelinesto be manufactured and installed with automated mobile machines, replacing the need to pre-fabricateshort pipe sections in a factory, transport them to pipe dumps and then manually weld them together on-site. Accreditation and testing are under way in the UK but in order to access the fast growing market fornew pipelines in the Middle East and North Africa, a local demonstration centre is needed. This projectwill conduct and report on a feasibility study to develop a local demonstration centre with localinvestment and implementation partners. It aims to develop a global group of pipeline operators who willact as critical friends to this new technology which offers major change to the way pipelines areconstructed, with the potential to halve the cost and the environmental impact
