Asset integrity case development for normally unattended offshore installations
This thesis proposes the initial stages of the development of a NUI – Asset Integrity Case (Normally Unattended Installation). An NUI – Asset Integrity Case will enable the user to determine the impact of deficiencies in asset integrity and demonstrate that integrity is being managed. A key driver …

Application of photovoltaic solar energy to medium-scale installations
Although South Africa has significant energy reserves, some 50-60% of the South African population is without access to electricity. Lack of infrastructure is one of the root courses of which energy supply forms an important component. The energy sector is an integral part of the whole economy, and …
