About the Course
This course offers a detailed exploration of onshore pipelines, covering key aspects such as route selection, hydraulic design, material selection, construction methods, and integrity management. Participants will gain insight into the entire pipeline lifecycle, from initial planning and design through to construction, operation, inspection, and defect assessment.
The course delves into modern challenges, including pipeline construction in difficult terrains such as mountains, swamps, and deserts, as well as strategies for corrosion protection, defect repair, and routine maintenance. Additionally, it provides guidance on pipeline integrity management systems (PIMS), regulatory compliance, and advanced inspection techniques to ensure long-term pipeline reliability and safety.
Who's it for
- Pipeline Design Engineers – Engineers responsible for planning and designing safe and efficient pipeline systems.
- Construction Engineers & Project Managers – Professionals overseeing the installation, routing, and construction of pipelines.
- Operations & Maintenance Teams – Those responsible for monitoring pipeline performance, managing routine operations, and ensuring long-term integrity.
- Regulatory & Compliance Professionals – Individuals involved in ensuring pipeline projects meet industry regulations, environmental standards, and safety requirements.
