| Delivering effective engineering solutions for the subsea industry from optimising subsea layouts to detailed design of risers, flowlines and umbilicals lies at the heart of MCS Kenny Inc's ethos. People are their strength, with their experienced engineers assuring ‘best for project' solutions. It is their commitment to developing employee skills that has led to the company, with offices in Galway, Ireland, Houston, Texas, Aberdeen, Scotland, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Perth, Australia to join the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) Marine Partners initiative as a Marine Affiliate. |

"We pride ourselves in recruiting the best engineering talent from around the world to help us lead the oil and gas industry into the future with original, creative and trail-blazing developments," explains Dr Paul Jukes, President of MCS Kenny in Houston. "Working with IMarEST we will be making a very firm commitment to investment in Continuing Professional Development initiatives.
"There will be no assessment fee for the first fifty MCS Kenny Inc employees signing up for IMarEST professional membership; and we will be working closely with the Institute on a range of activities that will aid the professional development of members of our team. Indeed, before long we will be welcoming a visit to the MCS Kenny Inc office by the Education and Training Manager of IMarEST to provide an optional guidance service to our employees on training, mentor schemes, education and career development.
"We are delighted to forge closer relationships with MCS Kenny Inc, and look forward to working with Paul Jukes and his colleagues on this initiative," says Dr Marcus Jones, Chief Executive of IMarEST. "Dr Jukes has a close relationship with IMarEST. He was recently appointed to the office of vice president of the Institute, and will serve a three-year term while retaining his other positions at the Institute: president of the Americas Division and chairman for the US Gulf Coast Branch. Paul Jukes is also a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of the IMarEST. He is certainly a role model for his colleagues and we look forward to working with many of them in the coming months and years to help to develop their skills."
Marine Partners is the corporate partnership programme of the IMarEST. Customised corporate packages are created for each of the Partners who include companies, universities, research institutes and training colleges.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion |
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
