Offshore Pipeline Design and Construction

An intensive introduction to designing, building and operating offshore pipeline systems, with emphasis on mechanical, strength and stability design. Special challenges such as shore approaches, pipeline crossings, repairs, flow assurance and corrosion protection are built into the course. Design problems and team projects help participants apply what they learn.
