Summary
This course details why it is necessary to pay attention to piping systems at all stages throughout their life to prevent loss of containment and maintain a licence to operate.
What the course will cover
The main topics relating to design and safe operation of piping systems which include:
- Code compliance
- Layout
- Routing
- Flexibility analysis
- Supporting
- Testing
- Commissioning
Topics are covered by discussion, case studies of real incidents and syndicate exercises. It is expected that participants of this course will have gained some knowledge of the subject, either by experience or by attendance on the appropriate courses.
Benefits
This course will identify the principles and methods of piping design together with the considerations to be taken into account for layout and routing, testing, commissioning and safe operation of piping systems. You will gain an increased awareness and understanding of the causes of piping failures and how to resolve the problems that can occur.
Training method
The style of the trainers is to encourage participation in the discussions and to use case studies to share the experiences of the delegates to broaden their knowledge of the topics.
On completion you should be able to:
- Manage the safe operation, maintenance and commissioning of piping systems
- Improve business productivity by reduced maintenance and capital costs
- Recognise the need for, and the importance of, design codes and registration of critical piping systems
- Have an awareness of the technical aspects of piping that must be considered when designing, constructing, modifying or maintaining piping systems, highlighting the need to control modifications
- Identify the modes of failure of piping systems due to inadequate design, flexibility, supporting or routing
