Topic 31: Prescriptive case, Safety case and the future of Legislation

Submitted by michael saiki on

Like we have established, health, safety and environmental legislation regimes have always been as a result of major accidents.

Why is it not possible to achieve a more robust model.

Topic 30: Extending the life of pipeline in the North Sea what are the Safety & Risk challenges

Submitted by michael saiki on

The North Sea is experiencing another wave of technological advancement in the process of extending the life span of Existing pipelines.

A lot of the Pipelines in the North sea have reached or are close to the end of their design life and as usual the business minds who own these assets are taking steps to extend the life of the pipelines instead of just decommisioning, their argument is mainly economic i.e. the CAPEX involved. 

Is this not a potential disaster in the making. Can we properly extend the lives of pipelines and still optimize the safety case

Hallo, Guten Tag!
Good day!

Here I write to
you, applying for Research Project Grant and International Collaboration.

I have received my
Ph.D. and had done some research work in Germany and Saudi Arabia over the past
three years. If the chance for working as a Postdoctoral
position or Researcher in your lab comes to me, I will try my best to carry out
the research projects successfully.
