Pipeline Design, Maintenance and Rehabilitation Procedures
Introduction:
We all take pipes for granted and do not think how these are designed installed and maintained. This course is intended to highlight the methods used in pipeline design and also will look into the procedures used for maintaining and rehabilitating pipelines, concentrating on Sewers. The course will also look at the analysis of pipe networks and various phenomena within pipelines.
Objectives:
Having attended the course delegates will understand how to;
- Design pipelines
- Understand the rehabilitation Procedure for pipes
- Analyse pipe networks
- Understand the causes of Water Hammer in Pipes
Who Should Attend:
This course is intended for the following people:
- Engineers who would like to refresh their knowledge in pipeline design and maintenance.
- People working in the pipeline Industry who would like to know more about the design of pipes.
- Engineering graduates
