Engineering Renewable Installations Offshore - Cost effective deployment and maintenance
Do you want to get the cost of offshore renewable energy right?
With speakers from industry, research and certification, this seminar offers you specialist insight into ways to reduce the capital and operational expenditure associated with offshore wind and marine renewable energy. This seminar will help you to understand the practical issues faced by the operators of offshore renewable energy systems, minimise the risk and maximise the return on investment. In particular lessons can be learnt from the offshore oil and gas industry.
EIS members benefit from the same rate as IMechE members.

Axles, Wheelsets and Bearings - Do we know how to balance safety, performance and cost?
The rail industry is under greater pressure to reduce costs and increase value to the customer than ever before. McNulty has successfully triggered enormous scrutiny of railway costs and this event will help industry to respond.

Axles, bearings and wheelsets are some of the most expensive 'consumables' on a vehicle, they make up a significant element of an operators maintenance budget, and are key components in causing damage and cost to infrastructure. These components are also vitally important drivers for vehicle availability and for customer service.

Simple cost reduction is not enough. Successful railway companies must have the ability to balance cost management relative to good operational performance and against high levels of safety performance. Inefficient use of wheelset components has a significant adverse environmental impact.
