Tried & trusted – Multidisciplinary Resource

Introduction to Exova

We conducted a range of destructive and non-destructive testing on composite materials to help Airbus and its supply chain bring the A350 to the skies

We undertook a programme of advanced corrosion testing to help Maersk safely extract gas from its North Sea CulzeanField Development Project

We conducted extensive material and environmental testing programmes on major construction projects including Dubai’s Metro System and Burj Khalifa Tower

We provide extensive materials testing programmes as part of a Long Term Agreement with SAAB

We ensure public safety by delivering fire engineering solutions to mass transit locations including Heathrow Terminal 5 and Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi

We provide fire testing programmes for the latest Hitachi Class 800 high speed trains

Vestas, the world’s leading manufacturer of wind turbines, outsourced its calibration needs to Exova

owledge – Industries & Standardsuart Bond – Exova Group plc 2016

Consider support across full product to demonstrate compliance with full functional requirements: material properties, weldability, performance during installation flaw tolerance, plastic strain), in-service operation coating / insulation performance, cracking resistance,

corrosion behaviour) and upset conditions (blowdown, acidization)…

– SURF Qualification testing and assurance– Wellhead and OCTG Qualification testing and assurance– Regional variation in demands/schedules

ur Client Engagementuart Bond - Exova Group plc 2016

deal case - Proactive– New build: Operational and intermittent (upset) conditions are known– Specific materials or candidates for evaluation– Proposed route to manufacture / optimisation for manufacture– Address performance requirements early in your new product

development considerations with expert support from multidisciplinary resources to aid your product development, and ongoing support in manufacture and deployment

– End of life – P&A: Exova confidential concept to assist in well abandonment. Environmental & Health Science services applicable also.

n service – Reactive– Change in duty or life extension for your product– Installation or Inspection issues demonstrate cause for concern

FS – proactive or reactive?uart Bond – Exova Group plc 2014

Usually predicated upon:– Corrosivity of service– Temperature (low temp for blowdown, upper

temperatures for creep…)– Mechanical properties required– Compatibility with other materials (weldability,

galvanic coupling etc.)– Fabrication & Installation

• Stresses, straining, cold work…

aterial Selectionuart Bond – Exova Group plc 2014

Commissioning – Hydrotest / layup

OperationEventual end of life– P&A or retrieval to shore etc.

Conservative factors adopted throughout– Safety “assured” – Compounded then outcome may be over-

ear-Future requirements beyond existing standard protocols / cascade of proven pplied R&D techniques to the technically demanding advanced testing sector to upport new products and projects:– Drivers such as expected operating conditions (temperature, pressure,

corrosivity)– Design considerations driven by difficult fields (location or operating

parameters) such as strain based design (installation and subsequent operation), corrosion fatigue (lateral buckling, free-spans, risers)

– New standards being developed which will place requirements on the testing sector (HPHT corrosion fatigue assessment)

et’s discuss:– What are your greatest concerns at present?– Where do you believe technical gaps exist which will potentially impact

delivery timeline for new products?– When do you anticipate engaging with Exova on specific requirements, and

what needs to be resolved technically?
