About the programme

Course Overview

Pipelines and hydraulic structures are critical components of infrastructure systems that ensure the continuous delivery of essential services such as water supply, wastewater management, and energy distribution.

Over time, these systems are exposed to wear, corrosion, blockages, and environmental stress, making planned maintenance essential to preserve functionality, safety, and efficiency.

Effective maintenance planning requires a deep understanding of asset conditions, prioritization of interventions, selection of appropriate technical methods, and strategic management of resources, time, and costs.

Maintenance projects typically involve fault assessment, scheduling, equipment selection, team coordination, and execution aligned with engineering and environmental standards.

This workshop is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and tools to plan and implement comprehensive maintenance strategies for pipelines and hydraulic structures using modern analysis techniques and project management practices.

Through hands-on exercises, case studies, and planning models, participants will learn how to translate technical insights into actionable field solutions. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be able to improve system performance, reduce failures, and promote long-term operational sustainability.
