<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The oil and gas industry relies increasingly on infrastructure consisting of a significant number of ageing offshore structures requiring substantial inspection and repair. However, the available literature on these topics is dated and does not sufficiently address ageing structures. Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures provides an overview of inspection and repair processes for offshore structures with emphasis on ageing structures. It will include the reasons why inspection is performed and how inspection is linked to the management of structural integrity, statutory requirements and types of damage. It will also address the long-term planning of inspection, tools and methods and their deployment underwater. It will focus on both steel and concrete offshore oil and gas installations. It will be complementary to the recently published book Ageing and Life Extension of Offshore Structures by the same authors."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>UNDERWATER INSPECTION AND REPAIR FOR OFFSHORE STRUCTURES</b> <p><b>Benefit from a much-needed, up-to-date handbook on underwater inspection and repair processes and technologies</b><p><i>Underwater Inspection and Repair for Offshore Structures</i> fills a gap in the literature to provide an overview of the inspection and repair processes for both steel and concrete offshore structures.
