Boreas Consultants Ltd - JIP Main Contractor
Boreas Consultants were founded in 1997 to provide specialist, high quality consultancy and problem solving skills, particularly focussed on pipeline and subsea engineering. Over the past 4 years, Boreas has grown to 24 staff with offices in both Aberdeen and London. A critical factor in the companies' success has been a recognised, class leading skill in HPHT (high-pressure high-temperature) pipeline design from early concept engineering to detailed analysis. This has resulted in Boreas having an involvement in all recent North Sea projects and some key international projects, which fall into the HPHT arena.

Cambridge University Engineering Department
Cambridge University Engineering Department (CUED) is the largest department
in the University, with an academic staff of 130, several hundred graduate students
and over a thousand undergraduates. It is a strong centre of research in many
areas, and received a top 5* rating in the recent national Research Assessment
Exercise.
Research at Cambridge into engineering geotechnics began with the pioneering
studies of stress-strain relations by Roscoe and his group in the 1950s and
1960s, which led to the development of critical state theory. A major theme
over the last 30 years has been the development of centrifuge modelling by Schofield.
The Geotechnics group at Cambridge has been engaged with geotechnical problems
of pipelines for more than 25 years.
