RAMS - Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety

The RAMS group focus on four defined topics within the field of safety and reliability of complex systems:

• Reliability assessment of barriers and safety systems
• Implement reliability in the development of new systems, i.e. a "systems engineering" approach
• Risk assessment of complex systems
• Risk-based maintainability planning

Research activities

The group carries out basic as well as applied research. We have over several decades maintained a strong collaboration with the industry, in sectors ranging from oil and gas industry, railway industry, and renewable energy. More recently, we have also started a collaboration with the Norwegian Public Road Administration and joined the new center for innovation-driven research in subsea production and processing (SFI SUBPRO).
