Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot.
The Awarding Authority is one of the world’s foremost independent research and technology organisations, with expertise in solving problems in all aspects of manufacturing, fabrication and whole-life integrity management technologies.
Established in Cambridge, UK in 1946 and with facilities across the globe, the company has a first class reputation for service through its teams of internationally respected consultants, scientists, engineers and support staff, whose knowledge and expertise is available to its Industrial Members as and when they require.
This specification has been produced as part of an initiative known as Awarding Authority, which is funded by the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) using European Regional Development Funds (ERDF). Awarding Authority seeks to create a unique facility housing a critical mass of equipment, expertise and resources. Awarding Authority provides an environment to test and prove the limits of performance of advanced materials. Through the use of advanced modelling and simulation methods, full, large-scale mechanical test structures will be designed and built upon finite element analysis (FEA) calculations. Advanced, automated non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques will be developed with the aim of saving the industry time and production costs as well as minimising the risk of catastrophic structural failures.
Awarding Authority will deliver the objectives of the project through the following four technical strands:-
Modelling and Simulation of High Performance Materials and Structures.
Advanced Robotic Inspection of Complex Geometry Structures.
Inspection Systems for Very Large Structures for the Green Energy Sector.
Nuclear Fabrication Research Centre.
TWI Technology Centre (Wales) currently operates two microfocus X-ray CT scanning systems from Nikon Metrology (formerly X-Tek Systems Ltd). For visualisation and analysis, TWI operates a license of Volume Graphics’ VGStudio MAX Version 2.2 with the Coordinate Measurement Module. Awarding Authority requires either an upgrade for this software package or the supply of new software, ensuring the functionality of the existing software.
