Experience in Industry
Consultant - Water Industry and Failure Analysis Investigations I have carried out a variety of failure analysis consultancy and research work over the past 20 years for individual companies. Most of the work involved was commercially sensitive so that research papers were not generally given. A number of papers are shown below, but these do not represent the amount of research carried out in the area (see Additional Consultancy Reports). The Water Industry Consultancy Project ran successfully for over seventeen years at Staffordshire University (from 1983 - 2000), generated more than £250, 000 for the University and tested in excess of 6000 pipe samples in order to assess the condition of their water mains for the AMP (1 - 3) exercises. Several Water Companies were involved including Severn Trent Water plc and South West Water plc. Some of the project work was also undertaken with Pipeline Developments Ltd. The pipe sample data was collected in database form and statistically analysed and a prototype expert systems were written and delivered to both Severn Trent Water and South West Water. This project was extended for Severn Trent Water to include other information so that a complete predictive tool was produced and delivered in 2003. Additional project work for UKWIR was undertaken in 1998 -2000 concerning the categorisation of cast iron pipes for the water industry.
