This spring has seen a substantial degree of activity by International members and vendors advancing projects at the TDC.
In March PETROBRAS staff attended to supervise testing on the SPIM 1-2 crack samples and their own additional pipes under the JSUB-1 consortia. The tool under test came from Norway with Norwegian staff adding to the international flavor of the work.
In May as part of NDE 2-3 a Brazilian University under the direction of PETROBRAS participated in testing laser Shearography on the Composite Wrap Repair samples built for determining the performance of NDE techniques to assess composite wrap repairs.
In February and March Subsea Integrity Group from the UK performed tests of their EMIT internal tool as part of NDE 1-4 again under the watchful eye of PETROBRAS and other PRCI members.
