This course offers an integrated approach to mechanical damage management throughout the pipeline lifecycle. Students will explore key topics including formation, detection and chracterization, assessment, management, and repair/remediation with concepts aligned to the PRCI Report Systematize 20 Years of Mechanical Damage Research. An industry-leading Subject Matter Expert Instructor will guide learners through lectures and learning activities aimed at bridging theory and real-world application of an integrated approach to mechanical damage management. Learners will gain a lifecycle-integrated, cross-functional perspective rooted in over two decades of industry-backed research. The course will provide learners with a foundational understanding and an integrated approach to mechanical damage mangement cncepts, transitioning beyond theory to practical applications through:
• Introducing relevantindustry reference documents and their application in mechanical damage managment • Using idealized situations to integrate foundational concepts before applying them to more complex situations • Providing practical application of concepts through interactive learning activities
Recommended background/career experience:
• Early-to-mid-career practitioners with an engineering / technical background (e.g. technicians, technologists, engineers)
