Pipeline Protection, Maintenance, Economics and Asset Management for Field Engineers and Technicians (PPMEAMFET) Level 1 & Level 2

To develop the highly specialized skills and knowledge required for Pipeline Protection, Maintenance, Economics and Asset Management for Field Engineers and Technicians at Level 1 & Level 2.

Pipeline Protection, Maintenance, Economics and Asset Management for Field Engineers and Technicians Level 1 & Level 2 is designed for Pipeline Engineers, Pipeline Cost Engineers, Pipeline Asset Integrity Engineers, Pipeline Installation Engineers, Pipeline Protection & Maintenance Engineers, Pipeline Protection & Maintenance Technicians, Pipeline Construction Engineer, Pipeline Field Installation Technicians, Pipeline Field Construction Engineers & EPIC Project Managers.

Pipeline systems are the backbone of the critical infrastructure of any country. Accidents related to such systems can have severe consequences to the environment and people living in the area, and can involve years of legal proceedings against operating companies and those responsible. But with the ever ageing infrastructure, underwater corrosion and other threats causing leaks or ruptures, the effective monitoring and maintenance has become ever more vital to the safety and security of pipelines.

PPMEAMFET Level 1 & Level 2 covers Causes of Pipeline Damage: Corrosion, Damage caused by Construction / Moving Equipment, Weld Defects, Ground Movement; Consequences of Pipeline Damage, Prevention of Pipeline Damage; Characteristics, Properties and Selection Criteria for Pipeline Coatings; Corrosion Fundamentals; Cathodic Protection & Galvanic Sacrificial Anodes Pipeline Corrosion Prevention Methods ; Causes and Mitigation of Internal Corrosion of Pipelines; Causes and Mitigation of Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC); Pipeline Integrity Programs and Fitness for Service; Components and Tools of Pipeline Integrity Programs, Pipeline Economics i.e. Annual Depreciation, NOI before taxes, Pre-tax payback period, NOI after taxes, After-tax payback period, NPV for pipeline project, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Pipeline Operations, Use of KPIs to Monitor and Assess Pipeline Performance and more
