Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Pipeline Corrosion Management, Risk Assessment, Technical Integrity, Inspection, Remediation & Repair. It covers the pipeline integrity, the impact of corrosion on pipelines, other treats to pipeline integrity (non-corrosion related) and purpose of pipeline integrity programs; the public safety, reliability and deliverability of the pipeline system; the asset preservation, maintenance optimization and economics; managing corrosion; the forms of corrosion and corrosion control methods; the time-related pipeline defect types and inspection methods; and the stress corrosion cracking, corrosion monitoring methods, external corrosion and corrosion mediation methods. Further, the course will also discuss the 49 CFR and integrity requirements; the data collection, verification and integration; the risk assessment, consequence analysis, calculating and quantifying risk, risk minimization through corrosion control and integrity verification; the integrity verification/assessment; the overall assessment on a pipeline system; and the criteria for selecting an integrity method.During this interactive course, participants will learn the technical challenges to pipeline integrity; material properties and defects, pipe manufacturing, pipeline construction, pipeline operations and service, outside forces and time dependent mechanisms; the remediation activity/repair methods, discovery of anomalies, defect characterizations, development of a repair plan and repair protocol for ?high consequence areas? (HCA) pipeline; the inspection and assessment intervals, confirmatory direct assessment, external corrosion confirmatory assessment (ECCDA) and internal corrosion confirmatory assessment (IC-CDA); the post integrity assessment risk analysis including risk re-assessment in response to management of change processes and in response to changes due to remediation; the need for electronic database for data integration and specific data that shall be integrated into risk assessment plans; and the integrity management plan
