About the course
Are you actively involved with technical issues involving buried industrial piping? This course teaches you the basic technical knowledge of soil mechanics and its influence on underground piping. After the course you will have a solid understanding of the different technical aspects involved in buried piping. This makes the training course especially valuable for piping engineers, but also provides valuable information for operators, supervisors, technicians, and plant managers.
Topics include relevant design codes (e.g. NEN 3650, ATV, AWWA), Solutions to typical stress problems, underground pipe supporting and thrust blocks, awareness of the critical aspects, potential failure mechanisms, identify potential field and design issues and the differences between buried steel and non-steel piping.
The learning path consists of 7 online courses based on video content.
An active CaesarII license is required for this learning path. Note that a license is not provided as part of the learning path. Please contact us for questions on this matter.
