About the course

(Formerly Integrity management of subsea pipelines - Part 1)

This course provides an in-depth understanding of the engineering principles behind successful integrity management of subsea pipelines.

Duration:  4 days
Level:  Practitioner
Price: See schedule below

You will gain from this course

• An understanding of key engineering issues and activities required to run subsea pipelines in optimum condition
• An understanding of the key engineering issues affecting subsea pipelines and how to combat them
• An understanding of how to assess a range of integrity threats
• An opportunity to network with fellow players and learn from their experiences

A comprehensive understanding of the key issues affecting the integrity of subsea pipelines will help delegates assess defects in a stage approach, using basic screening tools to undertake detailed assessments.
