This is a course to provide the basic understanding of the regulatory requirements and the newly published CSA Z662-11 Pipeline Systems. New regulations and new code requirements have been incorporated! Code requirements for fabrication, inspection and testing in accordance with CSA Z662 for new construction, and post construction repairs and maintenance work will be presented. There will be a brief introduction to CSA Z662 design considerations, CSA, ASTM, and API material standards, and welding qualifications. An important part of achieving these objectives is to understand the jurisdictional requirements such as the provincial pipeline acts and regulations. The jurisdictional boundaries between ABSA and ERCB will be discussed. Practical field examples will be discussed.

Skystone Engineering instructors have many years of hands on experience in all facets of pipeline design, fabrication, installation, and inspection. As the leading provider of pipeline and pressure equipment integrity management services, we’re in the perfect position to provide a significant amount of added value beyond just basic awareness of code requirements, including: comparisons of (different) Jurisdictional requirements, information on best practices and practical interpretation and application of the various inspection tasks required.
