EXPLORING INNOVATIVE & INEXPENSIVE CORROSION CONTROL METHODS

Ahead of Coasts and Marine Structures 2017, we chat with David Edelman, Project Engineer at Queensland Sugar Ltd (QSL). David discusses QSL’s wharf at Lucinda Bulk Sugar Terminal and the innovative and inexpensive corrosion control methods that they’re employing to extend the life of port assets.

Retrofitting Aging Infrastructure to Increase Wharf Capacity

Ahead of Coasts and Marine Structures 2017, we chat with, Lieutenant Commander Robert Short, Naval Harbour Master at The Royal Australian Navy’s Port Jackson Fleet Base East. Robert discusses the Royal Australian Navy’s (RAN) plans to retrofit their existing wharf structures in order to increase capacity and accommodate larger vessels.

Draft Agenda ungated

Robotic Automation of Marine Structure Maintenance

Especially in the sea, the relentless forces of entropy are ever at work, corroding, pitting, and wearing away. Shipping ports face the challenge of keeping natural processes in check and maintaining key infrastructure so that the flow of goods can be conducted reliably and profitably.

Today, ports develop maintenance plans based on estimates derived from manual inspections that yield a fraction of the total available data of the inspected structures. As a consequence, such estimates are at best educated guesses intended to develop maintenance plans for billions of dollars of assets and infrastructure. Engineers, cautious by nature, err toward asset replacement based on incomplete structural assessments generated through spotty, error-prone human testing processes. Port managers, under pressure from government compliance bodies, accept the expense of replacement rather than risk failing a safety audit.

Artemis IRS offers a novel, integrated, and proven solution that provides engineers with objective, full-coverage analysis of structural assets free from any subjective human bias. The solution integrates the latest in real-world data acquisition within a robotic platform.

How Technology is Transforming Strategic Port Planning

In this case study from Coast and Marine Structures 2016, Alice Zsembery, Senior Maritime & Port Planner at Mott MacDonald discusses how simulation technology is paving the way for effective system design and operational planning can be used as a way to improve end-to-end terminal performance over the long term.

Exploring Innovative Corrosion Control Methods that Create Efficiencies

In this past presentation from the Coast and Marine Structures Summit David Edelman, Project Engineer at Queensland Sugar Ltd explores:

Main learnings in asset management of the Lucinda offshore steel structures
Cost effective solutions for repair and maintenance of aging steel infrastructure, including the long term use of petrolatum tapes for corrosion protection
Cost comparison of different techniques for protecting against corrosion

Developing an Asset Management System

In this past presentation from the Coast and Marine Structures Summit 2017 Matthew Primmer, Engineering Manager, Port of Hastings Development Authority explores:

Providing a systematic and transparent process for the justification and timing of asset management activities
Obtaining a detailed understanding of maintenance liabilities, priorities, risks and opportunities
Developing a strategic approach to asset management to optimise the performance of the assets, minimise lifecycle costs and mitigate risks of asset failure
Providing a clear line of sight between the corporate objectives and day-to-day maintenance activities

Managing and Optimising the Performance of your Assets through Strategic Long-Term Port Master Planning

In this past presentation from the Coast and Marine Structures Summit 2017 David Wignall, Senior Vice President at the Indonesia Port Corporation explores:

Background into the port expansion and 30- port development and upgrade projects across Indonesia
Key considerations and challenges in regards to unified large projects, including strategies to optimise land use; manage sustainability and durability of your assets; and minimise your ecological footprint

Extending the Asset Lifecycle: Exploring Strategies and Tips from Three Major Projects

Ahead of the Coast and Marine Structures Summit 2018 we explore the strategies and innovations asset owners and marine engineers at Queensland Sugar, Ausenco and Sydney’s Overseas Passenger Terminal are utilising to future-proof their assets and extend lifecycle.

The Holistic View: Protecting and Future Proofing Marine Structures through Comprehensive Asset Management

Ahead of the Coast and Marine Structure Summit 2018 we chat to Harvinder Singh, Senior Maritime Engineer at Jacobs Engineering Group. In this Q&A article Harvinder shares his insights into the state of the Australian coast and marine industry, and explores asset management and lifecycle best practice top tips, with a specific look at the design and development of fendering which helps protect and lengthen the service life of critical assets.

Exploring 5 key challenges impacting Australian Costal Ports: And innovative solutions to the problems

For an island nation like Australia, ports serve as the gateway to the global economy. The continuous growth of international trade and the forecasted increase in cruise ship operations in Australia has meant that a number of ports have undergone considerable capacity increases, at considerable cost.
