132570Global Co-operation for Advanced Automated Mobile Pipeline TechnologyClosedFeasibility StudiesInnovate UKSustainable Pipeline Systems Ltd is developing advanced technology which will allow onshore pipelines to be manufactured and installed with automated mobile machines, replacing the need to pre-fabricate short pipe sections in a factory, transport them to pipe dumps and then manually weld them together on- site. Accreditation and testing are under way in the UK but in order to access the fast growing market for new pipelines in the Middle East and North Africa, a local demonstration centre is needed. This project will conduct and report on a feasibility study to develop a local demonstration centre with local investment and implementation partners. It aims to develop a global group of pipeline operators who will act as critical friends to this new technology which offers major change to the way pipelines are constructed, with the potential to halve the cost and the environmental impact
