The pipeline networks expanded rapidly all over the world when it became apparent that pipelines are an efficient, economic way to move oil, gas, and petroleum products to consumers. More challenges face the pipeline industry. So, good understanding of pipeline design, maintenance and rehabilitation will help tackling these challenges.
Although pipelines are protected by many methods such as coating and cathodic protection, pipe failures are likely to take place. Various methods are used to repair defected pipelines such as pipe clamp, clock spring or pipe replacement.
This course deals with the design, maintenance and rehabilitation of pipeline systems. An overview of pipeline industry is discussed. Participants will have acquire and/or consolidate the essential knowledge and skills to design, maintain and repair pipelines.

Objective

Audience

Managers, engineers, operators, supervisors, inspectors, equipment suppliers, or those who wish to be familiar with pipeline systems.
