MY WORK AT STORK |
|
Since May 2006 I work for Stork; to which company I
was attracted due to a) its clear technical focus to ensure reliably equipment
by providing a cooperative atmosphere, b) it’s pole position as a supplier of
maintenance services and c) its attractive scope of work varying from services
deep below the surface of the earth in the oil and gas industry to services at
large heigths for the aerospace industry.
Stork is a company that is already more
than 180 years of age and which has an extensive track-record with respect to
the production and repair of capital intensive technical assets.
In June 2006 Stork has overtaken a Scottish company
named IICorr, that
has an extensive track-record in integrity management for offshore production.
For this company I am involved in expanding the
Due to IICorr’s offshore track record, a spin-off in
supplying products and services for asset management of quay infrastructure and
particularly steel wall constructions has arosen.
Key issues that are tackled, extend from the
administrative process to managing the risk on Accelerated Low Water corrosion
(ALWC).
IICorr offers an overall package of services for the
whole lifecyle of an installation, from the design and installation of cathodic
protection during the design phase until the development of an asset management
approach during the exploitation phase as well as generating an inspection
planning and supplying specific inspections.

In general in all these cases
a risk based approach will be used in order to achieve cost-efficiency.
For those situations in which
there is too much uncertainty to make any reliable predictions, specific
corrosion or crack monitoring tools can be supplied such as FSM-IT or Sens-It. Through the use
of tools like these, operating windows can be assessed that prevent severe and
often costly failures.
