Sandwich Plate Systems Technology

Structural maintenance on vessels is growing, both in terms of demand and complexity - this requires a new, innovative approach, and an overhaul of decades-old approaches to vessel crack repair, to unlock cost, time, environmental and safety benefits.

In this lecture we will examine how the combination of these factors suggests an overhaul is required in the maritime industry’s approach to vessel crack repair. While repair techniques have remained static for many years, structural composites such as SPS Technology’s Sandwich Plate System (SPS), which has a 20 year track record in the industry, offer a cost competitive alternative that’s fast, non-disruptive and delivers improved strength, compared to conventional steel structures.
