... Welding is proven to be the most recognised repair and fabrication method for metallic equipment and structures. However, in scenarios of flammable and explosive environments, the welding process is restricted, since sparks and hot metal can become airborne and present a danger. Sources...

... and provides the fastest method for an organisation to achieve improved performance. Given the complexity of the project we could not target all 17 major contracts so we selected four areas for attention: fabrication of the Douglas deck; fabrication of jackets, piles and satellite decks; strip out...

... For large lifted decks there is a need for reeducation, to ensure that time requirements for the structural fabrication, outfitting and commissioning activities are fully understood, and sufficiently long construction schedules are adopted. Only in this way will the full cost benefits of large...
