## Advanced Pipeline Innovation and Research Laboratory
Check out this video about our new lab. The Advanced Pipeline Research and Innovation Laboratory (APRIL), opened in 2019 and is carefully designed for collaborative pipeline research.
We are shaping a new generation of pipeline engineers and developing the pipeline systems of the future – safer, more efficient and equipped with sensors that are adaptable to future technologies.
