Vortex Robot for Rapid Low Cost Scanning and Improved Non-Destructive Testing of Large Concrete Structures (VORTEXSCAN)
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
Large public infrastructure facilities around the world like dams, cooling towers and bridges use cement as the main building material. Although made from a durable material many of these large assets have begun to age and are in need of periodic inspection to ensure their integrity. Current inspection routine involves setting up scaffolds that have to be moved around for personnel to reach to the ...

Automated mechanical property and fatigue life assessment of composite wind turbine blades in less than 4 hours (AutoWinSpec)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016,
The wind turbine industry is one of the fastest growing markets. Current turbines are huge with turbine rotor diameters of over 100m becoming standard. EU energy policy calls for 20% of the EU's 3040Th/y electricity demand to come from renewable sources by 2020, which constitutes a market of some 140€ billion and wind energy is the clear front runner.Presently in situ blade inspection is carried o ...

Continuous monitoring systems for the SAFE storage, distribution and usage of Hydrogen POWER for transport (SAFE H POWER)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
The limited supplies of traditional fossil fuels and environmental damage caused by their CO2 emissions have caused a growing interest in the exploitation of renewable energy sources. By far the most promising replacement fuel for road transport is hydrogen because of its abundance, efficiency, low footprint for carbon and the absence of other harmful emissions. In 2015 it is expected that the num ...

Development of Advanced Shearography System for On-Site Inspection of Wind Turbine Blades (DashWin)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,
Wind energy is a fast growing (>20% pa) industry worldwide and European companies have two-thirds of the share, according to European Wind Energy Association. Due to the increase in wind farms, new techniques are required to provide maintenance and inspection of the wind installations with reduced cost and enhanced reliability. It is estimated that the business opportunity for wind turbine blade i ...
