Background

The growth and expansion of applications for CRA materials continues at an ever increasing pace. It is vital that expertise in welding, fabrication and support functions keep abreast of these developments, which is the focus of the conference. Speakers will be drawn from a range of disciplines and will provide an up to date picture of current technology in the CRA field.

Who should attend

• Welding engineers and metallurgists looking to update their knowledge on CRA materials

• Engineering managers and production managers to gain broader appreciation and latest thinking in fabrication

• Pipeline and corrosion engineers who can benefit from a wider understanding in material selection

Benefits of attending

• Learn about current CRA materials and welding issues• Update about future challenges in the industry• Acquire insight into selected case studies from industry experts• Make use of the conference to network with others working in the area• This is a CPD recognised event
