Piping Design, System, Operation, Maintenance and Repair in Oil and Gas Plant

The primary objective of this Piping Design, System, Operation, Maintenance and Repair in Oil and Gas Plant training course is to empower professionals with—
• detailed understanding and knowledge of plant piping systems, including their design, operation, maintenance and repair
• the required awareness and knowledge of relevant codes and standards to choose the correct piping material
• the experience to understand required operations and decide the best piping systems
• adequate confidence and understanding to consider all challenges (including temperature and pressure) and work on setting up a system that could withhold these conditions
• the knowledge and experience to train other professionals on essential aspects of piping systems
• adequate knowledge and experience to understand what size and fittings are needed as per the intended purpose
• the awareness and confidence to conduct regular inspections to check for maintenance and repair requirements, if any
• understanding of the extent and type of damage and necessary remedial measures to address these
• the skill and capabilities to reduce organisational costs on piping system maintenance and repair, thereby contributing to organisational development as well as worker safety
