The Structures Design Program of the Polytechnic School of UFRJ (PPE/Poli-UFRJ) invited civil engineer Nelson Szilard Galgoul to give a lecture at the inaugural class of the professional master’s program this second semester of 2020. Entitled “Installation of Pipelines and Submarine Structures”, the lecture will take place next Monday (10/8) at 3 PM, remotely, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“In addition to discussing a bit about the different techniques for installing pipelines, we will also focus on the S-lay, an interesting method for laying rigid pipelines in locations where vessel movement most affects the stresses on the pipelines, and the difficulties of installing submarine structures,” explains Galgoul, who is a former student of Poli-UFRJ and also a retired professor from the Department of Structures at UFRJ.

Graduated in Civil Engineering from UFRJ, with a master’s degree from COPPE and a doctorate from the Technical University of Munich, Galgoul has worked in the Departments of Structures at UFRJ (1974 to 2011) and Civil Engineering at UFF (1987 to 2016), and also at the Technical University of Hamburg, in Germany. He is currently the CEO of NSG Engenharia. He has extensive experience in the field of Civil Engineering, with an emphasis on Metallic Structures notably for fixed offshore platforms, floating structures, and submarine structures.

About the PPE

The professional master’s degree in Structures Design at the Polytechnic School of UFRJ aims at deepening the scientific and technological training of its students, with an emphasis on expanding professional practical experience, enabling them to develop new techniques and processes and to apply knowledge, technologies, and scientific results to solutions for engineering problems in structures. As a stricto sensu postgraduate course, it also qualifies its Masters for teaching in undergraduate and lato sensu postgraduate courses.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

End of blind excavation: artificial intelligence detects pipes, cables, rocks, and voids before construction begins and promises to avoid million-dollar losses hidden underground.

Uranus and Neptune may not be the “ice giants” we learned about in school: new models suggest much rockier interiors, chaotic magnetic fields, and show that even the planets in our Solar System still hide structures that science cannot fully explain.

The United States is building an aircraft carrier that will never touch water: a ship that remains stationary in orbit, loaded with spacecraft, and opens its hull to release them in a matter of hours, ready to replace a downed satellite before the enemy notices.
