Why take this course?
This buried-piping course connects soil mechanics and soil-pipe interaction with the design and assessment of underground industrial piping. It covers NEN 3650, AWWA Manual M11, ground entries, road crossings, thrust blocks, underground supports and CAESAR II modeling for steel and non-metallic systems. This self-paced online course includes video lectures, knowledge-check quizzes and a completion certificate with PDH credits.
What you'll learn
After completing this course, you...
• Have a good understanding of theoretical and practical aspects involved with realizing buried industrial piping systems,
• Know how to apply for ground entries, underground supporting, thrust blocks, and road crossings,
• Are able to perform a pipe stress analysis in Caesar II,
• Know potential critical issues and related failure mechanisms,
• Understand the difference between steel and non • steel for buried piping.

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.
