Composite Analysis Extending the Life of Offshore Assets

In this webinar we will discuss the benefits that composite repairs can bring to offshore asset owners, including cost optimized asset life extension due to no hot work permits and lost production due to shut ins, the limited impact on deck load capacity related to little change in the center of gravity for the floating vessels and increased salt-water resistance due to the non-metallic nature of composites.
