Offshore Magazine speaks to VerdErg Pipe Technology

Offshore Magazine speaks to Peter Roberts MD and Professor Alastair Walker, Consultant, about VerdErg Pipe Technology’s revolutionary ring-testing methodology for ultra-deepwater pipelines.

Ring testing is a patented method developed by Verderg Pipeline Technology that involves non-destructive measurement of a deepwater pipeline’s joint ultimate collapse depth.
