LR Establishes Applied Technology Group

 

The Applied Technology Group (ATG) describes is a team established with the goal of providing expanding technology leadership capabilities, multidisciplinary consulting services, the development of engineering analysis software and specialized contract research services in Canada and globally across the Lloyd’s Register (LR) Group.

 

The Lloyd’s Register Applied Technology Group consists of 50 people in two locations in Canada, - Halifax, Nova Scotia and in Ottawa.

 

Colin Clark, the General Manager of LR’s ATG describes its role as innovating and applying real world solutions in six key technology areas where the ATG’s specialized expertise sets it apart:

•Public Safety: The development and application of explosive modeling and structural response analysis to protect soldiers, civilians and critical assets.

•Survivability: Supporting the safe and effective operations of complex integrated marine assets throughout their operational profile.

•Life Cycle Management: Starting at concept design through to ship recycling, LR’s ATG provides in-depth analysis of major assets through life.

•Polar Technologies: Solutions that provide clients with sound engineering expertise in designing and operating assets that perform in harsh, cold environments and that meet evolving regulatory frameworks.

•Advanced Tools: Developing and supporting customized tools that are applied to create technology solutions.

•Emerging Technologies: Analysis that provides insight into understanding complex phenomena in industries such as renewable energy and autonomous underwater vehicles.

 

With over 40 years of delivering advanced engineering solutions, Martec is well-known among LR’s clients, with a particularly strong relationship with the Government of Canada, LR noted. Centering the Applied Technology Group around Martec permits an extension of those capabilities and represents its full integration within the LR Group, working with Global Technology Centers (GTC), consulting groups and the different business streams to help meet internal and client challenges.

 

Clark said, “As the Applied Technology Group within Lloyd’s Register, we will play a key role in contributing to technology thought leadership both here in Canada and across Lloyd’s Register’s global activities. Establishing the Lloyd’s Register Applied Technology Group better describes our expert capabilities to existing Martec clients and across the wider world of LR. “

 

“The full range of our services developed while trading as Martec - including high and slow speed computational fluid dynamics, acoustic signatures, software development, risk assessment and structural analysis - is provided by a group of people applying technology. The Applied Technology Group description sits alongside Lloyd’s Register’s Global Technology Centers in Southampton and Singapore as well as consulting capability across the organization. With our focus on the practical application of technology we are able to work with Lloyd’s Register technology experts world-wide to innovate and develop new technologies and then to apply those techniques for real world solutions.”
