Pipeline Engineering: Corrosion, Maintenance and Advanced Inspection
A structured, applied course in pipeline corrosion and inspection — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Assets involved in pipeline corrosion and inspection routinely outlive the engineers who commissioned them. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in corrosion and inspection; it has added to it. They leave able to brief senior management on the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda in terms that support a decision. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for pipeline corrosion and inspection, not for observers of it. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations it covers ends in something applicable. Across sectors, teams that rehearse corrosion and inspection outperform teams that only plan it. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of pipeline corrosion and inspection and prepares them for it. Moving corrosion and inspection from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations that would make a visible difference.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Structure records of corrosion and inspection so that they answer the questions an auditor will actually ask.
Integrate pipeline corrosion and inspection with the wider process safety management system.
Translate policy on corrosion and inspection into procedures that hold up under day-to-day pressure.
Plan the decommissioning or life-extension decision for assets involved in pipeline corrosion and inspection.
Verify that contractors working on corrosion and inspection meet the same standard as direct staff.
Build the competence and certification matrix for staff working on pipeline corrosion and inspection.

Course Modules
Pipeline corrosion and inspection: instrumentation, data and condition monitoring
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Building the method for pipeline corrosion and inspection step by step
- Estimate the production loss associated with unplanned downtime of pipeline corrosion and inspection.
- Record what was learned when corrosion and inspection did not go as planned.
- Close out actions on pipeline corrosion and inspection rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
- Arrange the handover of corrosion and inspection so capability survives staff changes.
Session 2Spares, logistics and single points of failure in corrosion and inspection
- Benchmark the organisation's pipeline corrosion and inspection against comparable operations.
- Agree the smallest change to corrosion and inspection that would be visibly useful.
- Confirm that those complying with pipeline corrosion and inspection understand why it exists.

Corrosion and inspection: competence, certification and handover
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The operating limits on corrosion and inspection and what happens beyond them
- Verify isolation points for pipeline corrosion and inspection are proven and documented.
- Verify emergency response arrangements cover the scenarios corrosion and inspection can create.
- Identify critical spares for pipeline corrosion and inspection and confirm lead times.
