• Requirements for pipeline design and construction
• Onshore pipeline integrity management
• Protection, inspection, testing and maintenance of pipelines

Personal Impact:

Upon successful completion of the training course, participants will be able to comprehend and effectively manage the challenges or obstacles encountered during the development of pipeline projects within their organizations.

The training course is very comprehensive and will address all phases of pipeline life cycle so that participants of any engineering discipline will have a rounded knowledge of the oil and gas pipeline industry.

This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Piping Engineers
• Pipeline engineers who want to expand their knowledge in the pipeline industry
• Operations Engineers
• Project engineers
• Maintenance engineers and technicians
• Engineers from all disciplines who are new to the pipeline industry
• Managers and executives who are new to the pipeline industry

This training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented including:

• Course manual
• PowerPoint presentations,
• Videos
• Competency assurance tests including pre-assessment and post-assessment tests

The daily seminars will be highly interactive and participative. This involves regular discussion of applications as well as hands-on exposure to techniques using examples from case studies and real projects. Delegates are strongly encouraged to bring and share their own experiences, lessons learnt from the work domain. This adds greater relevancy to the content.
