Learning Lab 6: Comprehensive Integrity Management and Fire Engineering in Non-metallic Systems: Inspection, Testing, and Transition Strategies

27 Feb 2025
Discovery Pod 2 - Al Gurm Ballroom
Technical Sessions

This session will explore the critical aspects of integrity management, inspection, and testing for non-metallic systems. As industries increasingly adopt non-metallic solutions for their efficiency, sustainability, and performance benefits, ensuring their long-term reliability and safety is paramount. The session will focus on a holistic approach to managing the lifecycle of non-metallic materials, emphasizing cutting-edge inspection techniques and testing methodologies. Additionally, it will cover fire engineering considerations, providing insights into designing and implementing fire-resistant strategies during the transition to non-metallic systems in industries such as oil and gas, construction, and transportation. Attendees will gain a deep understanding of how to maintain the structural integrity of these materials, the impact of environmental factors, and best practices for compliance and safety.
