Short Courses and Conferences Offered
Geohazard & Soil Mechanics for Buried Pipelines – November 2025
NEW COURSE! In collaboration with industry experts from B.C. and Alberta, the Pipeline Integrity Institute delivers a 2-day short course covering aspects of geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics important to geohazards and pipeline design and mitigation.
Advanced Level: Hydrogen Pipeline Integrity – Next intake – Fall 2025
NEW ADVANCED COURSE! In collaboration with Rosen’s Competence Club, the Pipeline Integrity Institute builds on last year’s new short course ‘Introduction to Hydrogen Pipeline Integrity in the context of energy transition’ with a deeper dive into this topic!
Pipeline Defect Assessment & Threat Interaction in Pipeline Integrity Management – Next Intake 2026
There are millions of kilometers of high-pressure onshore oil and gas transmission pipelines around the world. As the industry expands and new staff are introduced into it, there is an increasing need for a full appreciation of the engineering design of pipelines and how to keep them operating safely.
PipelinerX – Understanding Canadian Pipeline Systems – Next Intake 2026
Provides leaders with a robust foundational knowledge of pipeline systems and a strong grasp of the issues facing pipelines today – issues ranging from the importance of today’s pipeline infrastructure to effective and collaborative indigenous consultation.
Corrosion Summer Institute (CSI) 2024 Conference completed June 2024
In collaboration with the University of BC and Western University, CREATE CORRECT CSI 2024 is the perfect opportunity to come together to immerse in all things corrosion! This conference provides opportunity to learn new corrosion techniques, tour of labs, networking with other corrosionists, and professional development.
