Onshore Pipeline Facilities - Design, Construction and Operations - PL-42

Course

About the Course

Successful onshore pipeline businesses require personnel competent in fully integrated approaches to evaluation, planning, design, construction, operations, and asset integrity management. This intensive, 5-day foundation level course explores best practices for developing and maintaining pipeline systems that maximize life cycle reliability; employee, public, and environmental safety; and cost effectiveness. Design and team exercises are an integral part of this course.

"Everything was well organized. The subject itself was very interesting to me and applicable to my job." - Design Engineer, Kazakhstan

"Well rounded course material. We covered what seems like all different areas of pipeline design, including areas I hadn't thought about such as ROWs." - Logistics Projects Engineer, United States

Target Audience

Pipeline project managers and engineers, operations and maintenance supervisors, regulatory compliance personnel, and other technical professionals with 1-3 years of experience in natural gas, crude oil, refined petroleum products, LPGs, NGL, chemical, carbon dioxide pipeline engineering, construction, operations, or maintenance. This course is intended for participants needing a broad understanding of the planning, development, construction, start-up, and operating and asset integrity management of onshore pipelines.
