Re: Temporary Repair Engineering

This is the responsibility of Technical Engineering department to either engineer the repair, get the consultant involved, review it with all involved and then allow for implementation. No temporary repair should go unchecked from Technical function.

Re: HSE Actions Implementation

I would say this is a continuous struggle.
Actions are just coming from many sources including the regular internal & external audits.
I sometimes sit and think that even the actions in form of minutes from all different meetings are taken well care of, job is well done.

Re: Difference between SA451 CPF3M & CPF8M?

The primary difference between SA-451 Grade CPF3M and SA-451 Grade CPF8M lies in their carbon content.
SA-451 governs centrifugally cast austenitic steel pipe (analogous to static casting grades like CF3M/CF8M under SA-351).
CPF3M: Is the low-carbon variant (maximum 0.03% carbon). The "3" indicates ...

Re: Fusion bonded epoxy performance in aggressive sea water

Practically to understand the coating performance, I would recommend you to apply on some test spools during an opportunity, keep them in service for a year or so, wait for another opportunity where you can bring those spools down, and perform inspection.

Re: HSE Critical Positions

I do not think that engineers, senior engineers and beyond can be considered as HSE critical roles despite attending risk assessments.
