Mastering Pipeline Stability Challenges through Practical Examples

Embark on a journey with our course where you'll be guided through various worked examples, giving you a practical understanding of pipeline integrity issues related to stability. This insight is invaluable, enabling you to design pipelines that effectively circumvent these challenges. Such knowledge is crucial, not only for ensuring the safety and longevity of pipeline projects but also for enhancing your own expertise and value as a professional in the field. This course empowers you with the foresight and skills necessary to anticipate and address stability concerns in pipeline design.

Module Highlights

Day 1 - Fundamentals of Pipeline Stability

The first day focuses on the fundamentals of pipeline stability, exploring the causes of instability in pipelines. This includes understanding the impacts of wave and current forces, soil resistance, and soil liquefaction on subsea pipelines. Additionally, participants will learn about various stability assessment methods, including the force balance approach, DNVGL-RP-F109 approach, and finite element analysis, which are crucial for analysing pipeline stability under different environmental conditions.

Day 2 – Stabilisation Options

Day two delves into the various stabilisation options available for ensuring pipeline stability. This includes techniques such as trenching, applying weight coatings, using anchors, burial, mattresses, and rock dumping. These methods are essential for maintaining pipeline stability and integrity, especially in challenging subsea environments
