PIPELINE ENGINEERING

5 days

The United States has been the world leader in sophisticated pipeline systems for crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products, water, solids and slurries. But the expertise to design, build and operate a pipeline is scattered in a thousand places, with some of those places being individual minds. Dr. Henry Liu fills that void with a comprehensive 5-day seminar, accompanied by his newly published textbook, Pipeline Engineering. This course will enable engineers who are working for pipeline companies and industries that use pipelines, to broaden their knowledge in pipeline engineering, and to learn new developments and new technologies in pipeline engineering. Dr. Liu removes the mystery and the myths surrounding pipeline safety, troubleshooting, and freight transport—whether it is minerals, construction materials or refuse.
