APIA RSC said that joining forces with PRCI will grant each other access to research results and the provision of opportunities for the collaboration of pipeline research projects that are of mutual interest to both parties. The agreement was reached at the bi-annual joint technical meeting between the APIA RSC, PRCI and the European Pipeline Research Group, held in Milan, Italy. APIA RSC chairman Leigh Fletcher said “The signing of this agreement will not only allow the APIA RSC access to PRCI research for the purposes of making our own research stronger, it will also allow the members of the APIA RSC access to PRCI research past, present and future, for use in their own commercial endeavours. “This delivers great value to our members and is a tribute to the value that PRCI places upon the work that the APIA RSC does,” he said. Over 150 researchers and engineers attended the four-day conference to participate in discussions and presentations relevant to the high-pressure transmission pipelines industry.
