The routing, design, construction and maintenance of onshore pipelines require a fundamental knowledge of a wide range of subjects including:

• Construction techniques
• Hydraulic design
• Mechanical design
• Environmental impact
• Risk analysis
• Materials
• Corrosion actions and mitigations

Only with knowledge of all these subjects can designs be undertaken to achieve the fundamental objectives of an onshore pipeline:

• That it can be designed and routed so as to avoid any significant increase in risk
• That is can be constructed to meet ever more stringent environmental impact requirements
• That it is the correct size, wall thickness and made of the correct material to transport the pipeline contents for the life of the pipeline
• That it can be safely monitored and controlled
• That it can be maintained and inspected to ensure that its life span is achieved or exceeded

THIS COURSE IS ESSENTIAL FOR:

• All engineers or managers in the energy and utility industries dealing with the design and construction primarily of new oil, gas and water pipelines
• Operators responsible for renewal and ongoing maintenance wishing to understand the design and material issues underlying their ongoing operations and maintenance
• Those who need to understand pipeline risk assessment and its particular role in the development of risk assessments associated with changes in pressure or population change

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• To provide an overview allowing attendees to gain an overall understanding of the key issues affecting onshore pipeline routing, design, construction and maintenance
• To consider the pipeline standards and their impact upon pipeline design worldwide

The lecturers are all experts in their field and represent many years of experience in the industry.
