Introduction to IGEM/TD/1 and IGEM/TD/2

Course summary

This course will focus on the principles for design, build, commissioning, maintenance and operational requirements laid out in IGEM/TD/1 Edition 5 – steel pipelines and associated installations for high pressure gas transmission and the risk models adopted in IGEM/TD/2 Edition 2 – assessing the risks from high pressure natural gas pipelines.  The course consists of a combination of presentations, practical activities and group discussions.

Learning outcomes

• An understanding of pipeline best practice based on IGEM/TD/1
• Appreciation of how IGEM/TD/1 affects every role within the gas transmission lifecycle
• Ability to apply the basic principles identified in IGEM/TD/1
• Ability to apply the risk management methodology to pipelines designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with IGEM/TD/1 and IGEM/TD/2
• Knowledge to identify mitigation measures to reduce risk
• Knowledge to identify preventative and corrective measures associated with pipeline failures

Course content
