the news release Repairs offer new lease of life for gas pipeline from
Furmanite International, which we summarised at the time by saying "Fourteen different repair designs were required on a pipeline at Shell's Leman Alpha platform ranging in length from 1m to over 4m and involving various complex geometries".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Company chooses CAD download service from
Catalog Data Solutions (CDS): "Midwest Control Products decided to offer 3D CAD models for download from its website".
In August 2007, we covered the news from GKS Inspection Services
- take a look at Measurement company eyes US acquisitions
which says: "Acquiring small engineering and metrology companies will help GKS expand its operations in the US".
Take a look also at the news release from Martello, Sonar provides high-definition sea bed view,
