About this course
Overview
An integrity programme is what you produce when a regulator asks why the line is still safe. This covers inspection, corrosion control, and the structured integrity management practice that major operators and regulators now expect to see documented.
What you will be able to do
Learning outcomes
- Structure a pipeline integrity management programme
- Interpret inspection and ILI data
- Select appropriate corrosion control measures
- Assess defects against fitness-for-service criteria
- Prioritise integrity work using risk ranking
What the course sets out to do
Course objectives
- Explain the elements of a pipeline integrity programme
- Apply inspection and in-line inspection methods
- Assess and control internal and external corrosion
- Perform integrity assessment and defect evaluation
- Plan risk-based integrity management activities
