Overall aim: To develop our understanding of initial and ongoing integrity considerations with respect to how the performance of materials and structures change over time, and the role key stakeholders (e.g. designers, manufacturers, operators, etc.) play in managing risk and maintaining safe operations. Our work in this area supports all industrial sectors across Great Britain, including the many highly specialised industries which are strategically important to the country’s economy and social infrastructure. These include oil and gas, chemicals, explosives, mining and the bioeconomy, and all operating assets within the major hazards sector.

The project 'Resilient Materials for Life (RM4L)' aims to develop materials that adapt to their environment, self-diagnose deterioration, and self-heal when damaged, which aligns with the question of ensuring suitable repair and replacement strategies and technologies.
Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) employs sensor and imaging technology to assess the condition of components, plant and engineering structures of all kinds during manufacture and in-service. The UK Research Centre in NDE...
