Pipeline Operations and Maintenance

Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

This course comprises two sections. The first examines the design requirements for process plant piping systems. The second section examines the Operation and maintenance requirements for these systems. In each case, the course goes beyond merely repeating the material contained in the governing standards.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the total structural integrity of process plant piping systems throughout their useful life
• Discover how the ASME B31.3 code has been correctly and incorrectly applied.
• Ensure the total structural integrity of process plant piping systems throughout their useful life.
• Discuss and apply the design requirements of the ASME B 31.3 Code.
• Achieve higher levels of maintenance excellence in refineries and other process plants.
• Examine and apply the maintenance and inspection requirements of API 570 to process plant piping systems.
• Perform engineering audits of designs and procedures

The portfolio covers reliability-centred maintenance (RCM), preventive and predictive maintenance, condition monitoring and vibration analysis, root cause failure analysis, rotating and static equipment, asset management and maintenance planning — including preparation for the CMRP (Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional) credential.

Who should attend a mechanical, maintenance or reliability course?

These courses suit maintenance and reliability engineers, maintenance planners and schedulers, mechanical and rotating-equipment technicians and supervisors, condition-monitoring analysts, asset and plant managers, and operations staff accountable for equipment availability.

How long are mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can mechanical, maintenance and reliability training be delivered in-house for our team?

Yes. Any Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team.
