📘 Description (Overview)

Learn how to implement and manage Pipeline Integrity Management Systems (PIMS), including inspection, corrosion control, risk assessment, and maintenance optimization—crucial for pipeline operations from design through decommissioning.

✅ What You Will Learn

• Understand elements of PIMS, from policy to performance monitoring

• Assess pipeline risks and apply direct assessment, ECDA, ICDA techniques

• Plan inspections and integrity assessments (e.g., API, inline inspection)

• Design corrosion control, repair strategies, and emergency readiness

• Keep pipelines operational across lifecycle stages

🎯 Target Audience

Pipeline engineers, inspection specialists, technical maintenance leads, integrity officers, and project managers.

💬 Course Requirements

• Engineering background (process/mechanical/pipeline)

• Familiarity with pipeline systems; no prior integrity program experience required
