INVITATION

Seminar - 10 March 2020 - 09:30-17:30

Corrosion and material integrity in offshore and maritime environment

Dear  ,

We are pleased to invite you to "Corrosion and material integrity in offshore and maritime environment", a seminar jointly by OCAS and Endures. We welcome you on Tuesday March 10th from 09:30 to 17:30 at Endures in Den Helder (Netherlands). 

In industrial constructions, offshore structural integrity and corrosion go hand in hand. The need for adapted materials that can withstand harsh conditions and that are compatible with cost and lifetime requirements are more relevant than ever. Pushing the limits of conservatism whilst limiting risks is a crucial aspect to prepare tomorrow’s market opportunities.
