Shawcor Ltd. seeks to expand their current product line of reinforced thermoplastic pipes (RTPs) to strengthen their position in today's competitive global market. Quick and cost-effective installation, corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand high pressure in long-term operation are few outstanding characteristics of RTPs, which are increasingly being used as an alternative to steel pipe in oil and gas operations. Shawcor is committed to expanding the capacity of their RTP products to higher service ratings, namely temperature and pressure. Over the past two years, within the scope of joint Alberta-Ontario Innovation Program and NSERC CRD grants, a team composed of researchers from the University of Alberta and University of Toronto and experts at Shawcor has made substantial progress in exploring novel cost-effective RTP solutions. As part of this research, modeling and testing techniques for the assessment of long-term performance were developed. The collaborative research efforts have identified cost-effective composite pipe designs. The addition of corrosion-resistant metallic interlayers into the composite structure has been explored to provide a barrier against diffusion of volatiles through the pipe wall. Through the project that is proposed herein, optimized structural designs for multi-layer and multi-material RTPs shall be enabled, which includes the characterization of mechanical properties, identification of failure mechanisms and correlating properties in coupon specimens to the full-scale operation. Second, the project aims at developing novel solutions to effectively bond organic and inorganic material layers in RTPs. The study will include experimental characterization of short- and long-term properties. These research objectives will advance the knowledge that is critical to successfully develop novel multi-layer and multi-material RTP solutions. The university researchers in collaboration with the industrial partner form an expert team for engineering analysis and design. The project will train various Highly Qualified Personnel to acquire skills related to scientific research while being of high relevance to industry. Ultimately, the research will advance Shawcor's technology leadership in the industry.

Shawcor Ltd.试图扩大其当前的增强热塑性管道（RTP）的产品系列，以增强其在当今竞争激烈的全球市场中的地位。快速且具有成本效益的装置，耐腐蚀性以及在长期操作中承受高压的能力是RTP的出色特征，越来越多地将其用作油气和天然气操作中钢管的替代品。 Shawcor致力于将其RTP产品的容量扩展到更高的服务等级，即温度和压力。在过去的两年中，在Alberta-tario Innovation计划的范围内和NSERC CRD赠款的范围内，由艾伯塔大学和多伦多大学的研究人员组成的团队以及Shawcor的专家在探索新颖的成本效益RTP解决方案方面取得了重大进展。作为这项研究的一部分，开发了长期绩效评估的建模和测试技术。协作研究工作已经确定了具有成本效益的复合管设计。已经探索了在复合结构中添加耐腐蚀的金属层层，以提供防止挥发物通过管壁扩散的障碍。通过本文提出的项目，应启用针对多层和多物质RTP的优化结构设计，其中包括机械性能的表征，识别故障机制以及优惠券标本中的特性与全尺度操作相关。其次，该项目旨在开发新的解决方案，以有效键入RTPS中的有机和无机材料层。该研究将包括短期和长期特性的实验表征。这些研究目标将促进成功开发新型多层和多物质RTP解决方案至关重要的知识。大学的研究人员与工业合作伙伴合作组成了一支专业的工程分析和设计团队。该项目将培训各种高素质的人员，以获取与科学研究有关的技能，同时与行业息息相关。最终，这项研究将提高肖科（Shawcor）在该行业的技术领导力。
