The Objective of Training Course

This training course is designed primarily for Pipeline Inspectors, with the main emphasis
on a more basic understanding of pipeline design aspects and relating design issues to the
more practical aspects of pipeline fabrication and installation. This is a general course to
provide the Pipeline Inspector with an overall view of the requirements of the DNV
Standard OS F101 and this training supplements other more specific professional
qualifications such as welding inspection, coating inspection and NDT normally required
of Pipeline Inspectors.
Det Norske Veritas
At the end of training course, each participant will have an understanding of:
1. General understanding of the DNV Submarine Pipeline Rules and safety
philosophies
2. Submarine Pipeline design considerations presents
3. Conventional Pipeline Installation procedures and their analysis
4. Quality Surveillance during pipelaying operations
5. Non-destructive testing methods used onboard pipelay vessels FUNDAMENTALS of SUBMARINE
6. Welding technology and welding systems for pipelaying
7. Linepipe fabrication and pipe-coating operations.

safeguard life, property and the environment. The DNV group employs more than 5500 staff and
located in more than 126 countries. DNV is the one of the world’s leading consulting organisation in
the area of Safety, Quality and the Environment consulting services for the Oil and Gas Industry. Organised by

DNV has a long tradition within offshore pipelines, providing certification, verification, and advisory
services. The DNV Rules for Submarine Pipeline Systems, first issued in 1976, is one of the major
international codes in use today for submarine pipelines. This has been updated over the years and
the latest DNV OS F101 Standard for Submarine Pipeline Systems released in 2000 has introduced a
major change in design philosophy with the application of Load Resistance Factor Design (Limit
State design approach) for pipelines.
Det Norske Veritas
Amongst those that have benefited from DNV courses are national oil and gas authorities, multi-
national companies in upstream, process and marine industries.
