Subsea 7 opened its Global Pipeline Welding Development Centre (GPWDC), the result of a US$15.6 million investment in its operations base at Clydebank, Glasgow. The center will develop welding technology for global deployment. The GPWDC is located in two buildings—Pipeline Development Centre (PDC) 1, a welding and inspection center and PDC2, housing R&D and screened radiographic and ultrasound NDT testing facilities.
