Power plants are varied and complex. Corrosion phenomena can usually be observed in any given power plant.
Giuseppe will focus on two widespread corrosion mechanisms that routinely lead to large business interruption claims in the power industry: Corrosion Under Insulation, and Microbiologically Induced Corrosion. He will discuss causes of these degradation mechanisms, as well as how to recognise and prevent them.
Russell will cover the identification of physical evidence that identifies fires as being started deliberately, alongside evidence that identifies where fires and other peril claims are potentially fraudulent.
Luke will be discussing vehicle fires which involve combustible fluids and materials, as well as other causes such as mechanical failure, electrical faults and frictional heating.
Tim will provide an introduction into hybrid concrete construction (HCC). HCC combines precast and insitu concrete to maximise the benefit of both forms of concrete construction.
Gerald will discuss examples where Hawkins has investigated escapes of water caused by a fault in a push-fit fitting, and how laboratory inspection can be conducted to generate data that allows us to compare the characteristics of exhibit and exempla
Patrick will look at the various ways in which domestic heating oil can escape into the environment and what should be done to prevent these leaks.
Camilla discusses what biomass boilers are, how they work, and how they can cause fires.
