3. Contract type: Supply contract
Single stage – Any candidate may submit a tender.
4. Description: Eight state-of-the-art, advanced portable ultrasonic array controller instruments to form the core of phased array ultrasonic testing and procedures development are required. The hardware must facilitate the application of the most recent developments in phased array technology and allow the PAUT testing of complex and challenging geometries and components.
Please ensure all queries are submitted using the In-Tend correspondence facilty.
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 AEMRI (Advanced Engineering Materials Research Institute), which is funded by the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) using European Regional Development Funds (ERDF). The Awarding Authority seeks to create a unique facility housing a critical mass of equipment, expertise and resources. The 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.
The 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.
