Course Description
Understand the basics of Canadian Standards Association CSA Standard Z662 for pipeline design, materials, welding, installation, inspection and testing requirements for new construction, and post construction operation, repairs and maintenance work. Upon completion, attendees will appreciate what is required for design calculations, differences between CSA and other materials (API, ASTM), notch toughness requirements, material test reports and markings, CSA welding qualifications, ASME welding qualifications, basic pipeline construction and installation requirements, visual inspection, nondestructive inspection, sour service requirements, pressure testing, and operating requirements. Attendees will also be aware of the various pipeline regulatory agencies, associated pipeline legislation, the influence of CSA Standard B51, and the use of ASME B31.3 within the scope of CSA Z662 pipeline construction. While the design of pipelines is introduced, the discussion does not include details of pipeline stress analysis, design for buoyancy control, limit states design, arrest of long running brittle or ductile fractures, selection and installation of pipeline coatings, design and installation of cathodic protection systems, directional drills, girth weld alternative acceptance criteria, or other fitness-for-service calculations
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
This course will assist companies with management of the recent CAPP Guide, Competency Assessment for Upstream Oil and Gas Pipeline Installation Inspectors. It covers most of the CAPP knowledge base with respect to CSA Z662 requirements, but it does not deal with details concerning OH&S, WHIMIS, permitting and licensing, land management, the environment, in-line inspection tools, and Criminal Code requirements.
Training Objective
This course will assist companies with management of the recent CAPP Guide, Competency Assessment for Upstream Oil and Gas Pipeline Installation Inspectors. It covers most of the CAPP knowledge base with respect to CSA Z662 requirements, but it does not deal with details concerning OH&S, WHIMIS, permitting and licensing, land management, the environment, in-line inspection tools, and Criminal Code requirements.
Target Audience
Pipeline and utility operators, designers, welders, supervisors, inspectors, engineers and maintenance personnel who work for pipeline companies, EPC's, inspection companies, fabricators, and repair/maintenance companies involved with oil and gas transportation pipelines. This course will be of assistance to personnel seeking recognition as meeting CAPP competency requirements as a pipeline inspector, and CSA W178.2 pipeline weld inspector exam candidates
