 Dr.
Beavers is Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of CC Technologies,
a corrosion engineering and research company. He has directed
and contributed to numerous research and engineering programs
on corrosion and cracking behavior of underground pipelines.
These programs have included failure analyses, critical literature
reviews, and laboratory and field evaluations. The research
has been directed toward assisting pipeline operators in developing
data to enhance their integrity management programs. For example,
Dr Beavers has developed test techniques to measure realistic
growth rates for stress corrosion cracks and corrosion fatigue
cracks in pipelines. Data from such tests are used to optimize
hydrostatic retest and in-line inspection frequencies for
pipelines containing these defects.
Dr. Beavers assisted Dr. Carl Jaske
of CC Technologies in the development and commercialization
of the CorLAS™ program, used to predict the failure
pressure and remaining life of pipelines and pressure vessels
containing crack-like flaws.
