Fundamentals of Crack Management (CS050F)

Fundamentals of Crack Management

This course will provide you with an understanding of how to produce a crack management plan for a pipeline and how you can implement the plan safely.

You will be able to explain the different types of cracks and crack-like defects in pipelines. You will also be able to identify methods to detect the differing cracks and to discuss the assessment methods.

Register your interest in this course by emailing education@rosen-group.com and we'll notify you as soon as applications open for the next intake.
