Goals and competencies
The aim is to learn about all the important aspects of pipeline transport, such as design, analysis of spatial placement, maintenance and management, control and testing, and the safety of pipeline systems for different purposes. The programme gives the subject the in-depth review of all relevant aspects such as the analysis, installation, maintenance and management of pipeline systems for different purposes.
