Transmission Pipeline Design Workshop


In-Person Workshop | May 22–25, 2023

Workshop Summary

This 3.5-day workshop takes you through the pipeline design process from pipe sizing to post-construction record keeping. The workshop is built around team activities that provide classroom instruction and all steps in the design cycle based on a real-life pipeline design project. This workshop will address the upcoming Mega Rule Changes including discussions of the new requirements, and a review of situations when the new requirements would be triggered. In addition, what is TVC (Traceable Verifiable and Complete) and the newest technologies available to meet requirements

During this workshop, we will provide:

  • An overview of gas transmission pipeline systems and related facilities
  • An understanding of gas pipeline regulatory code requirements
  • Recognition of the importance of good project design requirements
  • The fundamental knowledge you need to design and specify gas pipelines and components

Due to the extent of the new Mega Rule Part 2 regulatory changes, this class will include content on the update as follows:

There are extensive changes in RIN-2 that revise or add sections in 49 CFR 192, broadly covering the following:

  • Corrosion control for both external and internal corrosion;
  • Inspections following extreme weather events;
  • Repair criteria and response;
  • Management of change;
  • Direct assessment for internal corrosion and stress corrosion cracking;
  • Threat assessment and data integration;
  • Risk assessment; and,
  • Additional prevention and mitigation measures.

 

Attendees will qualify for 21 Professional Development Hours (PDH) upon completion.
