The Onshore lines area is composed of two main sections: the former concerning the existing lines, the latter the application of new innovative materials for new lines.
Work on the existing lines is focused on Mechanical Damage, Low-toughness linepipe characterization, Crack stoppers for low-toughness lines and Repair systems developments.
Work on X100, X120 lines is instead focused on the Ductile Fracture Propagation Control (DFPC), Low T toughness, Crack stoppers, Defect tolerance in Welds, Plastic deformation and H-embrittlement.
