M. Jan piping failure in a gas Science joining pipe spools that are manufactured far from the site.
field One of the important considerations during installation is
that these pipe spools may be joined such that they fit
properly with pre-existing components. In the worst
condition, the piping may bent, insufficiently supported or
connected to incompatible materials resulting in the
instability of the structure, thereby leading to failure.
Dr. Miraj Design and Mechanical The structural integrity monitoring is a major requirement

M. Jan development of non- Manufacturing, and process industry. The conventional non-destructive
intrusive inspection Automation techniques are mostly performed during the plant shut
down. In such condition, the inspections are performed by
solution skilled operators, however, due to the use of manual
tooling, this adds to the downtime of the plant resulting in
the non-availability of the plant.
The current project focuses on the study of reducing the
down time of the plant due to non-destructive inspection.
The objective of the study is to design and develop a non-
intrusive solution that will use the conventional non-
destructive tooling to perform the remote and unmanned
inspection during the uptime of the plant.
