Technology of Maritime Search and Rescue

Weymouth College | 19 May 2011 19:00 to 20:30
Event type: Talk

Maritime Search and Rescue can often see people and machines going into some of the most hostile conditions on Earth. Technology to improve the safety and recovery of rescuers, lost persons and vessels is ever improving, but conversely the funding to support this development and deployment often falls behind. This lecture will take a brief look at how different agencies in the UK work together to save lives at sea, and what kinds of technology make this job easier, safer and more effective.

Redundant Plant: Engineering and Safety

The Wilton Centre | 19 May 2011 09:30 to 16:30
Event type: Seminar

If you have plants that are redundant or might become redundant in the near future, you need to be aware of the engineering and safety implications. In the UK a large number of companies are facing the problems of ageing plant. This seminar will enable you to prepare, plan and specify the work necessary for when a plant is to be taken out of service. The work required to decommission a plant depends on a number of options that need to be followed in the longer term. These include mothballing,

Catching the Wrightbus; Hybrid Technology

Holiday Inn Hotel | 18 May 2011 19:30 to 21:30
Event type: Technical Lecture

The presentation will look at the Engine installation into the Hybrid, the benefits seen, the challenges it gave to the operators, and the problems with legislation not taking into account the Hybrid drive systems of Public Service Vehicles.

JET upgrade

Culham Science Centre | 18 May 2011 19:00 to 21:30
Event type: Technical Lecture

What will be the world’s largest fusion reactor, ITER, is being constructed at Caderache in France. The current world leader is still the JET at Culham, Oxfordshire. For over two decades JET has generated the engineering and scientific information required to ensure ITER is a success and even now is still providing key experimental data. One of the main challenges for fusion reactors is the compatibility between a reactor-grade plasma and the materials facing the plasma (the “First Wall”). J
