We currently have no scheduled sessions for this course. If you are interested in running this course, please contact our Training Department at [email protected]
Pourquoi choisir cette formation ?
The purpose of this training course is to present the requirements for the relevant industry practices regarding inspection and condition monitoring of pipeline systems using pigging devices, with the final goal of optimization of maintenance and efficiency of pipeline operation. The course will provide guidelines for carrying out inspection and pipeline defects and detection of potential failures due to material degradation and other operational causes. The delegates will be introduced to a risk analysis of equipment failures and available prevention and remedial technologies. Fitness for service (FFS) methodology will be introduced and explained.
This training course includes several workshops with real problems from industrial practice which will enable discussions and exchange of experiences.
The training course will feature:
- Methods for inspection and effective maintenance of pipeline systems.
- Planning and practical issues regarding pigging devices
- Data collection and analysis of smart pig NDT tests
- Development of maintenance and repair program based on inspection
- Analysis of cases studies during several workshops
Quels sont les objectifs ?
A la fin de ce cours, les participants seront capables de :
- Understand the requirements of industry standards for pipeline inspection:
- Carry out inspection of pipeline systems with NDT testing instrumentation
- Develop efficient maintenance programmes
- Implement technologies recommended for repairs and alterations
À qui s'adresse cette formation ?
This course is designed to benefit all levels of Technical Personnel in industry who deal with Piping System operation and maintenance:
- Plant professionals dealing with operation pipeline systems
- Engineers responsible for reliability of operation
- Engineers and technical staff in charge of inspection and condition monitoring
- Technical professionals involved in technical support and maintenance and repair
- Engineers in charge of planning of new pipelines and retrofitting old ones
Comment cette formation sera-t-elle présentée ?
The seminar will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive worked examples included. The emphasis in the course will be on the explanation of all technical phenomena and providing answers to the problems that are encountered in everyday industrial practice related to inspection, maintenance, repair and alterations of pipeline systems
Each learning point will be reinforced with practical examples and video presentations that will be included in several workshops based on the team work. There will be ample opportunities for active discussion and sharing professional experiences and exchange that will help solidify the gained knowledge. All course materials will be provided to the participants.
