Big opportunities tomorrow.
This technical program equips engineers with skills in piping system inspection, integrity assessment, corrosion monitoring, and maintenance planning to ensure long-term reliability in process plants.
The Piping Inspection and Maintenance Program develops skills to inspect, maintain, and troubleshoot piping systems. It introduces piping system fundamentals, components, service classification, design intent, and the inspection role. Inspection techniques include visual inspection, thickness measurement, NDT coordination, and corrosion identification. Damage mechanisms cover internal corrosion, erosion, fatigue cracking, and external corrosion. Thickness monitoring includes UT measurements, corrosion mapping, trend analysis, and remaining life assessment. Supports and flexibility cover support types, spring supports, thermal movement, and stress indicators. Valves and flanges include leak detection, gasket integrity, bolt condition, and alignment checks. Repair and maintenance include clamps, sleeves, spool replacement, weld repairs, and temporary repairs. Code compliance covers API 570 basics, acceptance criteria, and documentation for audit readiness. HSE and permit compliance include line isolation, depressurization, hazard control, and PPE standards. Shutdown and turnaround strategy covers scope definition, priority ranking, resource coordination, and handover practices.
The module highlights how thoughtful planning can directly improve project quality, reduce accidents, and help projects finish on time and within budget.
