Premium product – If you plan to attend a pipeline inspection course in 2026, then this course is a very good choice.
The course will provide an in-depth introduction into the subject of the in-line inspection of pipelines. We will look at the role the in-line inspection plays in the overall pipeline inspection and pipeline maintenance procedures. The course will introduce the flaws and anomalies observed in pipelines. In-Line inspection tools and the various physical principles they use will be covered in depth. The material covers details on a pipeline inspection operation, including pipeline preparation, cleaning, gauging. Final Reports, Reporting Formats are discussed. The course also includes a short introduction into data analysis and run comparisons as well as the integrity assessment of pipelines based on the data provided by in-line inspection tools.

Yes. A major part of the course is dedicated to challenging pipelines: lines with limited access, multi-diameter sections, low flow, tight bends, offshore lines, risers and flexible pipes. You’ll learn which specialized pigs, tethered tools, crawlers or robotic solutions can be used and how to plan such inspections.
Yes. The agenda includes dedicated modules on UT inspection technologies, electromagnetic/MFL tools, EMAT and other methods. You’ll compare strengths, limitations and data outputs, and learn how to select the right technology mix for your pipeline threats, product, diameter, wall thickness and operating conditions.
Yes. The course covers upstream, midstream and downstream systems, with specific modules on offshore pipelines, risers, subsea access, remote/autonomous external inspection and dead zones. It’s relevant whether you operate gas or liquid pipelines, onshore or offshore assets.
Yes. The 2026 edition explicitly includes “Special Issues Related to Future Fuels (H₂, CO₂, NH₃)” and hydrogen insights in inspection tools and crack assessment. You’ll see how future fuels affect materials, anticipated defect types and integrity requirements, and what this means for ILI technology and data interpretation.
