Define the scope and boundaries of pipeline corrosion protection so that responsibility for it is unambiguous.
Designing Programmes to Protect Pipelines from External and Internal Corrosion
A senior-level treatment of pipeline corrosion protection, focused on what changes outcomes.
Course Overview
The reliability of pipeline corrosion protection is decided at design and procurement, long before the first breakdown. Where maintenance history on the practice within engineering and maintenance work is incomplete, every decision becomes a guess. Organisations that document this area of engineering and maintenance work properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. They leave able to brief senior management on pipeline corrosion protection in terms that support a decision. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the engineering and maintenance work discipline is examined, not just described. Ambition around the engineering and maintenance work capability outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The course gives participants a defensible structure for pipeline corrosion protection and the judgement to adapt it. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this part of engineering and maintenance work. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the engineering and maintenance work discipline sustainable.
