Testing a new material for Arctic repairs at the Far Eastern Federal University
Specialists at the Far Eastern Federal University have developed a process for repairing pipelines, vessels and high-seas platforms in Arctic conditions without dismantling and mothballing their structures. Rector of the Far Eastern Federal University Boris Korobets discussed this project on his Telegram account.
He noted that the use of newly-developed bimetal materials would make it possible to considerably cut repair deadlines and costs at facilities operating in adverse northern conditions, to reduce dependence on foreign technologies and to make the Arctic infrastructure more reliable.
“The materials successfully completed the entire test cycle; they withstood mechanical loads, the impact of seawater, hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. Their specifications conform to state standards,” Boris Korobets noted.
