Integrity Testing of Deep Foundation Piles (PileInspect)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
A hundred thousand kilometres of piles are installed yearly in Europe. Problems can occur during pile driving including spalling of concrete at the pile’s head or point and transverse or spiral cracking. Industry figures suggest that as many as 3-5% of piles fail during installation. If a failure is detected, the cost of that pile is increased 4 times due to the remedial work needed to replace it. ...

Advanced condition monitoring system for the assessment of wind turbines rotating parts (CMSWIND)
Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,
Current wind turbine condition monitoring methodologies can be time-consuming and a costly process and fail to achieve the reliability and operational efficiency required by the industry. For these reasons existing vibration-based Condition Monitoring System (CMS) usually fail to detect defects until they become critical.This project will show the applicability of the CMS enabling the prompt detec ...

Development and Validation of an Automated Non-destructive Evaluation (NDE) Approach for Testing Welded Joints in Plastic Pipes (TestPEP)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
Plastics pipes offer significant advantages over other materials such as cast iron, steel, copper and concrete, for the transportation of fluids such as natural gas, water, effluent and corrosive liquids. They do not corrode; have a longer predicted service life, leading to less frequent replacement; they are less expensive to install due to their light weight and flexibility; and have significant ...

The PROQUALINDT project will develop a European-level training programme for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) at levels 1, 2 and 3, using existing standards, general principles and certification guidelines (EN 473, CEN/TC 138, AHG8) as a basis. Following an initial analysis of the state of the art for NDT teaching/training in the participating countries, project partners will both design an outline t ...
