This course offers a comprehensive and current examination of subsea pipeline engineering, covering all stages from pre-design to maintenance. Participants will be guided by experienced lecturers who are experts in the field of subsea pipeline engineering. To ensure individual attention, limited spaces are available for this course. Additionally, all delegates will receive a valuable resource in the form of a complete set of lecture notes. These notes will serve as a valuable reference material for further study and application in the field of subsea pipeline engineering.

Course Objectives:

It will give a complete picture of the work of design engineers and pipeline construction companies, using actual case studies from around the world to highlight the topics discussed. While the course requires no previous experience, this is not a superficial overview.
