• Principal Engineer

  • May 2011 - Oct 2016

  Initiated and managed a collaborative project, “Affordable composites in the oil and gas industry” with 11 oil and engineering companies from 7 different countries to develop next generation digital tools and requirements for composite materials. The main goal was to establish a certification by simulation approach. The project received funding from the Research Council of Norway. Budget: NOK 12.4 million over 4 years with start-up in 2015. Coordinated a global knowledge transfer network for materials, welding and non-destructive-testing in DNV GL from 2011 to 2015. The aim was to identify and develop key competence together with experts from the Oil & Gas, Maritime and Renewable Energy divisions. Co-author of DNV GL's white paper «The Future of Shipping», 2014. Was project manager of certification and qualification projects for composite subsea equipment and pressure vessels for fish farming and desalination of seawater. In addition, managed a project to repair a large composite steel sculpture. Developed risk-based inspection planning for inspection of coating and corrosion damage with focus on coating and modelling of coating degradation. Amongst other projects, I worked on the Glen Lyon class transfer project. Advised on material selection for example for corrosion protection in ballast tank, ballast water treatment plants or LNG tank. Published a DNV GL recommended practice on composite repair of steel structures (DNV GL – RP-C301 "Design, fabrication, operation and qualification of bonded repair of steel structures"). Am a member of the ISO 24817 committee for composite repairs of pipes standard. Advised on and assessed damage reports and repair proposals for owners and colleagues in DNV GL mainly for floating structures, in particular FPSOs. Show less
