Onshore Pipeline Engineering

Overview

Attend this course to:

• Understand modern pipeline design, routing, construction and inspection
• Assess pipeline integrity and fitness for purpose
• Learn how monitoring and maintenance techniques can reduce incidence of failures
• Understand the role of the engineer and other parties in compliance with codes and legislation
• Develop key analytical skills in environmental, safety, and risk assessments
• Hear about the importance of materials selection and corrosion monitoring/mitigation in reducing failure incidence

Case Studies + Workshop

• Environmental impact assessment
• Onshore pipeline design and materials
• Pipeline uprating
• Hazop studies

By attending this 4 day course you will come away with an understanding of a wide range of subjects fundamental to the routing, design, construction and maintenance of onshore pipelines including:

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

Once these principles have been established for participants, the course will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the design and construction of onshore pipeline, paying particular attention to:

• The designed and routing of the pipeline to avoid any significant increase in risk
• The construction to meet increasingly stringent environmental impact requirements
• The size, wall thickness and correct material necessary to transport contents for the life of the pipeline
• The safety monitors and control
• Maintenance and inspection to ensure that the pipeline's life span is achieved or exceeded

Course Objectives:

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

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

Who should attend:
ll engineers or managers in the energy and utility industries dealing with the design and construction primarily of new oil, gas and water pipelines but also operators responsible for renewal and ongoing maintenance wishing to understand the design and material issues.
It will also interest those who wish to understand pipeline risk assessment and its particular role in the development of risk assessments associated with changes in pressure or population change.
