ABOUT THE EVENT ORGANIZERS
Following the success of the first Fixing Pipeline Problems event held in 2012, this international
conference and its accompanying exhibition will again cover a wide range of issues concerning
pipeline rehabilitation.
Clarion Technical Conferences and Tiratsoo Technical have been organizing pipeline conferences and
training events together around the world for over 20 years. Their conferences include Pipeline Pigging and
Integrity Management; Unpiggable Pipeline Solutions Forum; and, Best Practices in Pipeline Operations &
Integrity Management.
The event is being planned to not only discuss the latest developments in the industry, but also to
showcase some of the industry’s latest achievements, and provide an unmatched opportunity of both
networking and learning.
The conference programme will be of relevance to all involved in the operation and lifetime planning of
pipelines transporting all types of hazardous hydrocarbons both on – and offshore, in particular oil and
gas, as well as to those involved in their regulation and safety.
By hosting the conference and exhibition side by side delegates are able to hear and learn about the
application of new technologies through presentations and case studies in the conference sessions, then
head to the exhibition to network with leading companies. The exhibition also allows you to discuss any
further questions that may arise during presentations with the developers of the technology.

REHABILITATION
and outside contractors to
minimize costs while maintaining
clear lines of responsibility.
This course is centered on the
practical aspects of pipeline
rehabilitation and covers
both internal and external
rehabilitation. The course goes
into depth on how to safely
rehabilitate operating pipelines
using manual and automated
equipment. Movement of inservice pipelines is analyzed in
detail including the application and
methodology of recommended
practice of API 1117 standard.
Other industry standards
applicable to pipeline rehabilitation
are discussed as well as how they
should be incorporated into project
specifications.
This intensive two-day course
focuses on real “how to do it”
aspects of pipeline repairs and
rehabilitation. Course highlights
include:

PRE EVENT COURSES 21-22 OCTOBER, 2014
PIPELINE REPAIR,
HOT TAPPING,
AND IN-SERVICE
WELDING
Course Objectives
The various aspects of pipeline
repair using weld and non-weld
methods will be covered, as will
the concerns for welding onto
in-service pipelines and the
approaches used to address
them.
Course Notes
All delegates will receive a
detailed set of lecture notes
containing more than 250 pages in
full colour, providing an invaluable
reference document after the
course.
Lecturer
Bill Bruce is director of welding
technology with DNV Columbus
(formerly CC Technologies).
Prior to joining CCT, he was a
technology leader at Edison
Welding Institute and a senior
engineer at Panhandle Eastern
Pipeline Co. He is a member of
the American Petroleum Institute
API 1104 Committee and is the
chairman of the Maintenance
Welding Subcommittee.
PIPELINE REPAIR, HOT TAPPING,
AND IN-SERVICE WELDING - COURSE
PROGRAMME
Who should attend?
• Pipeline engineers
• Operations and Maintenance
personnel
• Inspectors
• Welders
DAY 1
Why attend this course?
• The course will dispel a
number of misconceptions
that have developed
pertaining to operating
practices required to safely
weld onto an in-service
pipeline.
• If the knowledge gained
can be used to justify the
application of in-service
welding where it would have
otherwise been prohibited
(or prevent a single failure),
the first application of the
results can often offset the
cost of attendance by orders
of magnitude.
• The application of industry
best practices for pipeline
repair, hot tapping, and inservice welding will ensure
the safety of workers, reduce
the probability of a failure,
and can help to extend the
life of pipeline systems.

BERLIN
Few cities have seen as many changes over recent years as Berlin.
The two separate entities that existed before the Wall came down
have become one again. There’s hardly a trace left of the former
east-west division. The new architecture on Potsdamer Platz and in the
government quarter forms a fascinating contrast to the late 19th century
buildings of Charlottenburg. One minute you’re on an elegant boulevard,
the next you’re in one of the city’s more alternative neighborhoods. But
the city is not only renowned for its architectural monuments; it also has
museums, green oases and nightlife galore.
Post event Activities
Berlin is a city steeped in history. Major tourist attractions are spread throughout the city giving
an insight into Germany’s past. Highlights of any trip to Berlin include Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg
Gate), Reichstag, Holocaust Memorial, Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie.
