ABOUT THE COURSE

This intensive, five-day foundation level course covers the design, construction, and operation of onshore pipeline systems. This course will incorporate construction methods, commissioning, pressure testing, and start-up into the design of a pipeline system. The course focuses on pipeline routing, mechanical design, construction methods, hydraulics, installation, and operation of onshore pipeline systems. Participants will acquire and/or consolidate the essential knowledge and skills to design, construct, and operate pipelines. Design problems are an integral part of this course.

COURSE CONTENT

• Pipeline systems definition and applications

• Safety, environmental, and regulatory considerations; codes and standards related to pipelines

• Pipeline conceptual and mechanical design for strength, stability, and installation

• Impacts of pipeline hydraulics on pipeline design, construction, and operations

• Pipeline survey, mapping, and route selection

• Pipeline materials and components

• Corrosion and cathodic protection of pipelines

• Pipeline construction for onshore systems

• Introduction to flow assurance considerations and pipeline integrity aspects including in-line inspection, leak detection, and emergency planning considerations

• Pipeline operations, maintenance and repairs considerations
