The Australian Corrosion Association (ACA) and Australian Pipelines & Gas Association (APGA) are hosting a technical seminar this September to discuss the challenges and best practice solutions for preventing pipeline corrosion.
The seminar will focus on ‘Pipeline Corrosion Management’ and will take place on Tuesday 13 September in Perth.
Presentations will appeal to all industry sectors involved with pipeline asset management, including asset owners, project and integrity engineers, operators, inspection and maintenance personnel, contractors and suppliers. The event will discuss technologies such as materials selection and coatings and cathodic protection used to attain the desired design life of assets
Corrosion can cause dangerous and expensive damage to many types of structures including pipelines, bridges, buildings, water and wastewater systems. One of the most recent estimates indicates that corrosion costs the Australian economy between 3 and 5 per cent of GDP each year.
The ACA holds a number of training courses throughout the year to inform and guide organisations and practitioners about ways to combat corrosion. As a NACE strategic partner, the ACA offers various NACE training options in the Australasian region.
The NACE Pipeline Corrosion Integrity Management (PCIM) course will be held on 3-7 October 2016, in Perth and 10-14 October 2016, in Brisbane.
Held over five days, the course will provide comprehensive up-to-date coverage of the various aspects of time-dependent deterioration threats to liquid and gas pipeline systems.
