UK FORUM FOR ENGINEERING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY (FESI)

FESI is the membership organisation for engineering structural integrity in the UK. FESI represents the UK in Europe through the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS). FESI influences and disseminates the latest advances in structural integrity, promotes the exchange of relevant technologies and knowledge between industrial, regulatory, academic, and professional organisations, encourages best practice in structural integrity, and provides a practical resource for anyone working in this field.

One of FESI’s chief aims is to help improve the safe performance of and realise the economic potential inherent in the UK’s engineering assets. In addition, it seeks to reduce environmental impact by optimising plant performance. This is mainly achieved through the organisation of seminars and training courses, and the publication of the biannual FESI Bulletin and various textbooks and monographs through our publishing arm FESI Publishing.

Increasingly, organisations are recognising the fact that engineering structural integrity’s cross-industry, multidisciplinary technologies, methodologies, and practices, underpin the success and safety of their current and future operations. Such organisations range from the sectors of health, medical and healthcare industries, through architecture, construction, manufacturing, all branches of engineering and transport, to the renewable power generation, petrochemical, nuclear, biomedical, electronic and aerospace industries.

FESI’s role as the UK’s authority on structural integrity is supported and endorsed by a number of eminent and progressive organisations drawn from such sectors. These valued sponsors acknowledge that the integration of structural integrity into their corporate policies has shown benefits for their development, operational safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Sponsoring FESI and its events and publications is a way of helping to spread the positive message about engineering structural integrity.

FESI is steered by a Council of structural integrity experts and specialists and its activities are overseen by a Senior Advisory Group (SAG) comprising of internationally recognised eminent experts in the field.

Moreover, FESI has recently established a Student and Early Career Council whose prime aim is to provide an opportunity for student and early career workers to discuss current and future structural integrity challenges and issues across the various industrial sectors by engaging where appropriate with senior technical experts within FESI and elsewhere.

FESI has maintained strong links with CSIC (Chinese Structural Integrity Consortium) over many years and has held various joint conferences and workshops with the consortium both within the UK and in China.
