Environmentally Friendly Fire Suppression System for Cargo using Innovative Green Technology (EFFICIENT)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jul 31, 2019,

Fire suppression and explosion protection have used halons in many applications because they are electrically nonconductive, dissipate rapidly without residue, are safe for limited human exposure, and are extremely efficient in extinguishing most types of fires. However they have a very strong Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was des...

Rapid Integrity Assessment of Flexible Risers for Offshore Oil and Gas Installations (RiserSure)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2018,

This action will bring to market a unique product, RiserSure™, for assessing the condition of flexible riser pipes widely used in offshore oil and gas production. Riser failure is increasing and is costly (€3M per day from lost production alone). It damages the environment and creates the potential for major incidents. The Gulf of Mexico disaster in 2010 prompted very recent new safety legislation...

In-service intrusive Non-Destructive Testing of above ground and underground petrochemical storage tank floors and walls to detect corrosion (TankRob)

Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

It is estimated that 20% of storage tank accidents are caused by cracks or raptures on the tank structure. The majority of the bulk liquids stored in these tanks include crude oil and derived products which are extremely hazardous to the environment; a spill of only one gallon of oil can contaminate a million gallons of water.Storage tank NDT inspection is very costly and degrading to the environm...

Advanced shearography kit and a robotic deployment platform for on-site inspection of wind turbine blades (WInspector)

Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 28, 2018,

To achieve a thorough investigation for defect presence on a wind turbine blade, close inspection is required. This implies either trained staff tied with ropes on the blade or dismantling and transferring the blade in a workshop environment. While blade dismantling is scarcely used because it requires very long downtime, human inspection also involve a relatively high delay. A solution to this pr...

The Race, Class and Gender of Transnational Urban Labour: Romanian Workers in the Cities of London and NYC (MigrWorkers)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

The workings of globalization depend on international labor migration, a phenomenon that is hardly recent but that is, instead, embedded in histories of colonialism, decolonization and neocolonization, divergent conditions of democracy, totalitarianism, militarism and exploitation, as well as in persistent structures of economic disparity among the formal colonial powers and the decolonized world....
