LATEST DORIS NEWS -  UK Construction trials Doris "North of the Border" |
|
UK Construction conducted field trials in January 2008 comparing Doris to the conventional shot blast system currently used.
A 36" butt weld (left) was specially set up on a Land and Marine site at Kirriemuir in Scotland.
The comparative test was then carried out on site; the test was
witnessed by a qualified Senior Pipeline Inspector Stephen
Moorhead who prepared a report on the trial.
Once the trial was completed a close out meeting was held to
summarise the findings. |
