The structural & operational performance of pipes depends on many influences that must be understood if the Pipebot team’s research is to be effective and emerging technologies elsewhere are to be identified.  I will be applying systems engineering and systems thinking techniques to help the team develop that understanding, as well as to help industry and regulators adopt the team’s research findings and embed them into their daily operations.
