COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Integrity Management of Subsea Pipelines. It covers the philosophy of inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR); the types of risk assessment approach used in IMR; the various procedures employed in the inspection and repair of subsea pipelines; the corrosion issues such as seawater corrosion and corrosion under marine fouling and its recommended practices; and the subsea pipelines, particularly their construction and some case histories of problems encountered during pipeline construction.
Further, the course will also discuss the procedures of hydrotesting and its importance as an inspection tool; the concept of free span including the use of sidescan sonar and laser camera systems in evaluation and repair of free spans; the design of weight coatings, the impact of climate change on pipeline stability and additional provisions on bottom stability; the various subsea pipeline failures and different methods of repair of damaged subsea pipelines; and the concept of cathodic protection including the design codes, methods of CP surveying, analysis of data & coating condition.
