DEEP's #OccupyMare is about Persistent Human Presence Subsea
of US Office of Naval Research Undersea Medicine Program's Predoctoral Award. Dr Kernagis' team currently conducts advanced research for a number of organizations, including the United States Department of Defense and NASA. Following two years of research into advanced manufacturing processes and materials science, including the design of the largest WAAM 3D manufacturing capability in Europe, DEEP has received design approval in principle from DNV. "The Sentinel system is not theoretical, nor is it just renderings marketed to help raise capital or generate interest - we
Austal USA Awarded US Navy TAGOS-25 Contract
‘small waterplane area twin hull’ (SWATH) vessels support the Navy’s Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS) by gathering underwater acoustical data using Surveillance Towed-Array Sensor System (SURTASS) equipment.Austal said it will construct TAGOS using its proven ship manufacturing processes and innovative production methods that incorporate lean manufacturing principles, modular construction, and moving assembly lines in the company’s state-of-the-art enclosed steel production facility. Through continual capital investments, Austal USA has expanded its capability
TechnipFMC to Deliver Subsea Production Systems for TotalEnergies' CLOV3 Project Offshore Angola
optimize subsea developments.According to TechnipFMC, Subsea 2.0 products use standardized components that are pre-engineered and qualified, which allows equipment to be rapidly configured according to each project’s specific requirements. This optimizes the engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing processes, thus reducing the time to first oil and/or gas. More Than 350 Subsea Trees to Be Ordered in 2022, Level Not Seen Since 2013, TechnipFMC Say
"CTO in Focus" - Gareth Davies, Baker Hughes
, the increase in the demanded speed for the delivery?It means we’ve changed how we think about designing and manufacturing our products. We have developed structured solutions that enable more repeatable manufacturing and less engineering on a repeatable basis. We have evolved our manufacturing processes to enable us to build a tree from order to exit, ex-works in 12 months. So that's something that was a great challenge in a positive way for us and forced us to think about how we can be as efficient as possible in that build process.You also mentioned in that interview, something about
Valeport Achieves 'Made In Britain' Status
and maintaining production here in the UK," said Matt Quartley, Valeport managing director. "We also believe it highlights the quality of our products and expertise gained from over 50 years of British manufacturing expertise.”Valeport retains all aspects of developing and manufacturing processes in-house, an approach which means they have total control over every stage of the manufacturing process and can guarantee the quality and consistency of their products. The company’s riverside premises house all the facilities for designing, CNC machining, environmental testing, assembly
TMS to Use 3D Printers for Submarines
now come to the Kiel Fjord. It is planned to complete the transition by June 2020.Dr. Luis Alejandro Orellano, COO of thyssenkrupp Marine Systems said: "3D printing opens up completely new potentials for us. In the design engineering, we no longer have to consider the limits of conventional manufacturing processes everywhere. In this way, we give our customers more freedom in the design of the boats."Orellano added: "At the same time, we can produce components faster and more cost-effectively. Bringing the necessary expertise and equipment to serve us in Kiel is the prerequisite for being
Thruster Design for Submersible Developers
wake-adapted optimizing design stage, a full blade shape is generated. The blades must then be incorporated with a hub (that can have many different types of shaft attachments), with fillets and other details added during a 3D CAD process. There may also be additional considerations for specific manufacturing processes that will affect the shape, such as casting or milling. Development of the nozzle’s geometry is really little more than an annular (rotational) extrusion of a suitable foil profile.REQUIRED TOOLS FOR PROPULSOR DESIGNA typical thruster designer’s workbench will include the following
Renewables: Ingeteam Gets DNV GL Approval in India
;s other production facilities around the world.“The scope of DNV GL’s Shop Approval standard goes well beyond the typical product certification. We are pleased to provide Ingeteam with this certificate, which is testament to their uncompromising commitment to quality in manufacturing processes,” concluded Kim Mørk, Executive Vice President, Renewables Certification at DNV GL
Baker Hughes is Exploring Advanced Manufacturing with AFRC
latest advanced manufacturing tools and processes can drive more efficient, smarter ways to reduce cost and increase productivity across BHGE’s operations.Joining the research center as a tier one member, BHGE will work with the AFRC’s team of engineers and researchers to improve its manufacturing processes and delivery of services. Using its expertise and state-of-the-art equipment, the AFRC will help BHGE identify opportunities to cut costs and cycle time, while extending the lifespan of oilfield equipment required for operations in increasingly high temperature and extreme pressure environments
