Pipeline Integrity & Maintenance

???? Description (Overview)

Learn how to implement and manage Pipeline Integrity Management Systems (PIMS), including inspection, corrosion control, risk assessment, and maintenance optimization—crucial for pipeline operations from design through decommissioning.

✅ What You Will Learn

• Understand elements of PIMS, from policy to performance monitoring

• Assess pipeline risks and apply direct assessment, ECDA, ICDA techniques

• Plan inspections and integrity assessments (e.g., API, inline inspection)

• Design corrosion control, repair strategies, and emergency readiness

• Keep pipelines operational across lifecycle stages

???? Target Audience

Pipeline engineers, inspection specialists, technical maintenance leads, integrity officers, and project managers.

???? Course Requirements

• Engineering background (process/mechanical/pipeline)

• Familiarity with pipeline systems; no prior integrity program experience required

???? Suggested Curriculum

1. PIMS Overview: Lifecycle & Regulatory Standards

2. Threat Identification & Risk Assessment (qualitative/quantitative)

3. Inspection & Inline Tools: ILI, hydrotesting, ECDA, ICDA

4. Corrosion Control & Repair Strategies

5. Integrity Planning, Auditing, and Lifecycle Management

???? Outcome

Participants will confidently design and implement pipeline integrity programs, ensuring operational safety, regulatory compliance, and system reliability
