Unearthing the Future: Modelling of Failures

The May Talk will be given by Chris Riches who will be talking about a challenging piece of work he had to undertake during his 39 year career within the oil industry. He will uncover why the failure rate of underground tanks at fuel retail stations in Italy was increasing. Failure modelling helped solve a $500M problem, saving customer disruption and environmental risk, yet without ever seeing one of the tanks.

Chris Riches is a Reliability Specialist, who self describes as a reverse archaeologist – digging up data to go forwards rather than backwards in time.
