Course Overview
This course is beneficial for all individuals involved in pipeline repair programs. Participants will strengthen their ability to evaluate repair options, apply selection logic, and define execution strategies aligned with regulatory expectations and industry standards.
The course emphasizes how repair solutions are applied in practice, including their limitations, applicability, and integration within integrity management programs, rather than focusing solely on individual repair methods.
It also provides clarity on how repair classification, timing considerations, and design requirements influence overall outcomes, as well as how field execution factors such as constructability, QA/QC, and documentation affect reliability.
Participants will develop a structured approach to consistently translating anomaly characteristics, available data, and operational constraints into appropriate, technically defensible repair actions.
Agenda
This course provides a comprehensive overview of pipeline repairs from anomaly discovery and assessment to repair selection, timing, and execution supporting technically defensible decisions that are executed right the first time.
Designed for integrity and repair professionals, it covers regulations, industry standards, best practices, and engineering design to strengthen repair reliability, optimize outcomes, and enhance confidence across a range of repair scenarios
Major themes will include:
- Identification and assessment of anomalies, including required data and assessment methods
- Repair decision-making and timing in accordance with regulations and best practice
- Overview of available repair methods (e.g., cut-out, welded steel sleeves, type C sleeves (PETROSLEEVE®), composite repairs, adhesive bonded steel sleeve, mechanical bolted repairs, and direct weld deposit repairs)
- Repair classification and selection logic: temporary vs permanent, intrusive vs non-intrusive
- Engineering design and execution planning for each repair type
- Operator considerations and field execution, including economics, scheduling, QA/QC, documentation, and safety
- Quality assurance, documentation, and post-repair monitoring
- Overview of regulations, guidance documents and research on repair technologies
Target Group
This course is intended for pipeline integrity engineers, field engineers, maintenance supervisors, technical specialists, and operations personnel responsible for the assessment, selection, design, and execution of pipeline repairs.
It is also relevant for professionals involved in integrity management programs, including those working with regulations, standards compliance, inspection data analysis, engineering assessments, and field implementation of repair activities.
