INTEGRITY ENGINEERING FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Call for presentations.
The Institute of Corrosion with The North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers are pleased to announce they will be hosting a Sustainability Conference in June 2023.
The corrosion control industry has a large part to play in developing sustainable solutions for the energy sector to help achieve net zero targets. Designing systems and procedures to give better corrosion control for the life of the asset is possible, but all too often cost becomes the main driver in reducing performance between design and construction.
This event scheduled for 22nd June 2023 will address some of the new challenges facing the industry, including how we can provide clean, sustainable energy, and how this impacts corrosion control solutions currently in use.
We are currently inviting interest from speakers for the conference. Abstracts (no longer than 300 words) should include;
• speakers name,
• speaker’s organisation,
• presentation title,
• main themes / messages.
Your presentation should be;
• non-commercial in its focus (no sales pitches), please try to minimise any company information to 2 slides,
• written and delivered in English,
• of a maximum duration 35 minutes including 5 minutes for questions and answers,
• ideally feature a case study such as a new technology,
• suitable for release. All delegates will receive a copy of the presentation immediately after the event.
• A PDF or PowerPoint version must be available no later than 7 days before the start of the event (only minor changes will be permitted after this)
All speakers will be provided with complimentary access to the event.
Presentations are invited on, but not limited to:
• Offshore wind farms and related structures.
• Carbon Capture, Storage and Use (CCSU) projects, new and retrofits. continued……..
• Hydrogen generation and use including transportation in pipelines.
• Nuclear Energy.
• Advances in materials and formulation including recycling, reuse, and bio-based chemistry.
• Developments in anti-corrosion techniques, coatings and coating techniques (internal and external).
• Developments in coatings technology to reduce or capture emissions.
If you would like to present at this event please e-mail your completed abstract, with bio and presenter photo no later than 30th March 2023. e-mail: barry.turner17@gmail.com

Last month, the president of the Institute of Corrosion (ICorr), Stephen Tate, met with Chris Kirby, Advisor, and ICorr Manager, Dale O’Reilly, of IMechE Argyll Ruane (IAR) to officially sign a further ten-year partnership agreement between the Institute of Corrosion and IMechE Argyll Ruane.
The ICorr scheme is undergoing a period of rapid expansion, with significant investment being made by both ICorr and IAR to enhance their service provision. The revised partnership agreement demonstrates a further commitment to their collaborative approach, utilising the knowledge and skills across both organisations to further develop the course content, systems and processes, to ensure the very best training courses are provided to clients around the world.
Chris Kirby and President of ICorr, Stephen Tate, signing new 10-year partnership agreement.
IMechE Argyll Ruane have been delivering corrosion and coatings inspection training courses and examinations accredited by the Institute of Corrosion for over 20 years and have supported the expansion of the ICorr certification scheme around the globe by forming partnerships with key organisations to be able to provide classroom and online training in the UK, Europe, Turkey, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, North Africa, the Middle East and Australia.
The partnership enables both organisations to push forward with their strategic objectives of achieving:
- A greater provision to offer online and blended approaches for courses – enabling greater flexibility in course offering and supporting an industry desire to keep the face-to-face element of the course compact, effectively utilising contact time with the trainer whilst maintaining the high quality of the course content. For example, candidates will soon be able to complete online elements for courses such as Level 2 Insulation Inspector and Passive Fire Protection (PFP) Inspector prior to attending the course.
- A commitment to standardising course requirements/syllabi – implementing new protocols and continual improvement processes for the development of new, and the reviewing of current, course syllabi, ensuring clients receive the highest standard of training courses to meet the changing requirements of industry.
- An ability to partner with a greater number of organisations – aligning with the Institute of Corrosion’s vision of expanding the global influence of the ICorr certification scheme.
“Our partnership with the Institute of Corrosion has grown from strength to strength over the years and we look forward to continuing working collaboratively to progress the scheme within industry and ensure candidates continue to receive the very best training courses.”
- Dale O’Reilly, ICorr Manager at IMechE Argyll Ruane.
“I can personally speak of the huge contribution IAR have made over 30 or more years to this Industry and to my Corrosion colleagues. I remember very well my early training with them as a Snr. Painting Inspector which helped lay the foundations of my career in Corrosion”
- Stephen Tate, President of ICorr.
