This course covers the operational and maintenance disciplines needed to run transmission and distribution pipelines safely and reliably across water, fuel, and gas networks. Delegates examine integrity monitoring, leak detection, cathodic protection, and maintenance scheduling for buried and above-ground pipeline assets. The course draws on African utility and pipeline operator experience to address right-of-way management and community interface challenges.
Course objectives
- Describe the key components and failure modes of pipeline systems
- Apply pipeline integrity monitoring and in-line inspection techniques
