Technical Group Webinar
JOIN OUR NDT AND CONDITION MONITORING TECHNICAL GROUP (TG8) WEBINAR
Most standards and specifications relating to NDT are focused on inspection at the time of manufacture. However, all operating plants will gradually degrade during their service life, making in-service inspections necessary to ensure continued efficient and safe operation.
This webinar will cover an understanding of NDT and in-service inspection of ageing plant.
Who should attend?
Engineers responsible for the efficient and safe operation of plant and constructions during operation, and for maintenance and inspection planning in the oil and gas production, petrochemical, wind power, pipelines, bridges sectors.
What will you learn?
This webinar will enable participants to:
- Identify common degradation mechanisms.
- Understand how NDT for in-service inspection can be tailored to search for these.
- Understand the impact of well-designed in-service inspections on plant integrity and operational life.
Experts from industry will be presenting on a range of topics:
- Dr Channa Nageswaran, Technology Consultant, TWI Ltd - Ultrasonic Testing for Cracks
- Dr Chi Lee, Senior Corrosion Engineer, TWI Ltd - Damage Mechanisms Related to Aging Equipment
- David Bell, NDT Engineer, EDF Energy - NDT and Asset Integrity - A Nuclear Perspective
- Tom Pepper, Lead Asset Integrity Engineer, SSE -Inspection/Monitoring methods to enable life extension for Offshore Wind
- Rufus Foster, Principal Engineer and Tim Abbott, Technical Director, Mott MacDonald - Industry guidance on non-destructive testing of civil structures and how this was applied on Hammersmith Bridge

MEET THE SPEAKERS:
Dr Channa Nageswaran
Ultrasonic Testing for Cracks
Channa has been working in TWI Ltd for over 22 years developing ultrasonic testing techniques for a wide variety of applications cases. Channa has developed novel techniques for a range of in-service damage mechanisms which includes Type IV creep cracking, high temperature hydrogen attack and stress corrosion cracking.
Dr Chi Lee
Damage Mechanisms Related to Aging Equipment
Dr Chi-Ming Lee is a Senior Corrosion Engineer, working in the material and corrosion section at TWI Ltd, based in Cambridge, UK. His responsibilities include management of consultancy related projects, from a corrosion and asset integrity prospective, for a range of clients from the oil and gas industry and other sectors.
Dr Chi-Ming Lee received a degree in Metallurgy and Material Science, and PhD from University of Nottingham, UK. He is also a Chartered Engineer and a Member of The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3).
Tom Pepper
Inspection/Monitoring methods to enable life extension for Offshore Wind
Tom has over 10 years experience working in asset integrity, formerly in the oil & gas industry dealing with aging assets (beyond design life). In the last year having transitioned to offshore wind, he is now dealing with assets within their design life but evaluating life extension.
David Bell
NDT and Asset Integrity - A Nuclear Perspective
Since joining EDF Energy in 2023 as an NDT engineer within the Nuclear Services Structural Integrity Function, David has provided technical governance and oversight for inspection activities across the UK's operational nuclear power generation fleet. He also supports various inspection related needs for the new build projects at Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C. Before EDF, he spent 16 years at Altrad Babcock, in various technical and leadership roles spanning automated NDT, inspection qualification, advanced PAUT applications, specialist and manual NDT, and inspection R&D - primarily within the nuclear industry.
Tim Abbott
Industry guidance on non-destructive testing of civil structures and how this was applied on Hammersmith Bridge
Tim is a technical director and the bridges and civil structures practice lead within the transportation unit of Mott MacDonald. With over 30 years’ experience in the inspection, assessment, design, fabrication and construction of bridges, he has a focus on steels and metals, and particularly on the evaluation, refurbishment and strengthening of historic bridges. He recently co-authored CIRIA C798 which provides guidance on non-destructive testing of civil structures. Tim has been a member of the Welding Institute since 2001.
Rufus Foster
Industry guidance on non-destructive testing of civil structures and how this was applied on Hammersmith Bridge
Rufus Foster is a Principal Engineer within the Mott MacDonald bridges and civil structures practice, specialising in the design, assessment and rehabilitation of steel bridges. He recently led investigations, testing, structural assessment and strengthening design for Hammersmith Bridge, where a wide range of NDT techniques were deployed.
