Robots are taking over the (pipe) world When robots were first portrayed in movies such as War of the Worlds and Star Wars, they evoked a primal fear that someday machines and robots would take over the world. However, now that robots are actually here, it appears that we fear not being overpowered, but rather […]
Not sugar coating it; the best plant managers’ recipe

Not sugar coating it; the best plant managers’ recipe Deviating from a standard recipe; who doesn’t? You like to tweak the dish to your particular preferences. You probably do the same with your operations’ handling equipment. But as with the perfect frosting, it is with the perfect pipe coating… Experience, good ingredients and balance […]
Solving a bouncing problem with determination and grit

Solving a bouncing problem with determination and grit New paint requires a clean surface. The bigger the surface, the better the adhesion of the applied coating. For this purpose, blasting abrasion of pipes is done with grit. The grit is applied with force, and therefore naturally produces some excess grit. One of our clients […]
Longer lifespan, less downtime because of ‘magic touch’

‘Magic touch’ for longer lifespan and less downtime Decades of experience is not something that can be acquired by training, or that can be replaced by equipment. It’s like a person recognising a type of car just by hearing its engine. Or a baker no longer needing his recipes when adding ingredients. Our technical inspectors […]
Offshore ‘Predator’ has eyes on other industries
