Interactive Pre-Conference Workshop Day: Sunday, 17 September 2017

Sunday, September 17th, 2017

9:30 AM Integrity assessment pipeline program and choosing the optimal cathodic protection system to enhance the reliability of pipeline facilities

One of the biggest questions corrosion and inspection experts face is regarding the failure of underground pipelines. A key challenge for operators, there is a need to mitigate the risks associated with pipeline operations. Along with, cathodic protection is perhaps the main area of interest for maximising integrity and requires a thorough strategy in order to mitigate corrosion

Attend the workshop to:

Highlighting an effective corrosion inspection for better corrosion management
Mitigating risk associated with pipeline operations
Risk identification and assessment in the pipeline model
Cathodic protection criteria for operational effectiveness: Criteria and elements involved
