What's Happening?
Swiss flow solutions provider GF has launched a new webinar series titled 'Design Smarter. Build Better.' to educate designers and engineers on the use of polymers in ship and offshore piping systems. The series, available on-demand, aims to address the growing use of polymers due to their lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-efficient properties. The webinars feature industry experts discussing the integration of polymers in marine applications, covering topics such as material selection, design processes, and installation methods.
Why It's Important?
The maritime industry is under pressure to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and extend the lifespan of assets. Polymers offer a viable alternative to traditional materials, potentially transforming the design and construction of marine and offshore installations. This shift could lead to significant cost savings and environmental benefits. The webinar series provides valuable insights for naval architects and engineers, helping them adapt to these changes and leverage the advantages of polymers.
What's Next?
As the series progresses, it is expected to influence the adoption of polymers in the maritime industry. Companies may begin to integrate these materials more extensively in their projects, leading to innovations in shipbuilding and offshore construction. The insights gained from the webinars could also drive further research and development in polymer technology, enhancing its applications in the industry.
