Exova opens Pittsburgh laboratory
Exova, the global testing group, has opened its first facility
in the North East of the US with a new materials and corrosion
testing laboratory in Pittsburgh.
The laboratory will provide testing and consultancy services in
metallurgy, polymers and coatings as well as corrosion risk
assessment and mitigation, primarily to the oil & gas and
industrials sectors.
The location of the laboratory close to the Marcellus shale
field brings Exova's services to an important region by providing
particular expertise in supporting field inspection and corrosion
mitigation.
The laboratory also extends the company's advisory services in
areas including failure analysis and risk assessment. Combining
with Exova's existing global capabilities, the specialist team in
Pittsburgh will work with customers to improve the performance and
quality to their in-service assets.
The new facility, under the operational leadership of General
Manager, John Ciliege, and technical leadership of Dr Mehrooz
Zamanzadeh, will be part of Exova's oil and gas division in the US
and will also work closely with the company's network of oil &
gas, aerospace and industrials laboratories worldwide.
Gary Brimmage, President of Exova in the Americas comments:
"This new investment underlines our commitment to being at the
forefront of industrial materials and corrosion solutions. Offering
both testing and advisory capabilities we are able to support our
customers throughout the entire life cycle of oil and gas and
industrial assets, helping them to meet their technical and
commercial needs."
The Pittsburgh laboratory represents Exova's 143(rd) facility in
32 countries worldwide.
