Recently, Rosen carried out pipeline Integrity inspections at susceptible or damage locations

of steel networks at various pipeline and CGS locations which may later be threats to our
gas supply. Detailed analysed reports covering advanced NDT interpretation remarks,
external CUI inspections, areas of concern, etc. have been submitted.
In view of this, emphasis is to be given to employee's skill development and upgradation of
knowledge by providing relevant training/certifications courses viz. API 570, ASNT level III,
CP level II, PCN etc.
API program provides certification for API 570 for personnel whose specific jobs requires in-
depth knowledge of the technical principles underlying the Integrity inspections like NDT,
wall thickness measurement, corrosion monitoring, etc. that are performed on steel network.
Steel construction sites are increasing day by day. Additionally, due to government
infrastructure projects our NRO, valve replacements, and hot-tapping jobs also increased
and to maintain the integrity of old pipelines i.e. In-service pipelines and special care to be
taken for HDD, Nallah, and river crossings which requires proficient engineers to carry out
vital inspection activities in the field.
This certification program shall cover comprehensive technical topics as listed below which
may useful to perform our duties in a better way:

 Understanding in-service inspection, rating, repair, and alteration of steel metallic


piping systems and their respective pressure-relieving devices.
 Identify and assess damages like corrosion, erosion, pitting, and cracking in
pipelines, ensuring their safe operation or determining the need for repairs.
 Review/perform Risk-based Inspection (RBI) to determine inspection intervals and
the extent of future inspection/examination which assesses the probability of failures
(POF) and consequences of failure (COF) of piping failures.
 To find out the Estimated Remaining Life calculation and Fitness for service
assessment (FFS) of laid pipelines.
 Helpful to know what are inspections to be done during In-services and repair
guidance that is needed to maintain the ongoing integrity of the piping system.
 Identify conditioning monitoring locations to check corrosion, erosion, wall thickness
loss in parent materials.
 Identify susceptible injection points/damage locations in MGL CGS or laid pipelines
that may accelerate localized corrosion from normal or abnormal operating
conditions.
 To gain technical knowledge about different Damage Mechanisms and Failure
Modes
 Corrosion rate, corrosion under insulation, dead legs and auxiliary piping inspections
 Extent of Visual external and Corrosion under Insulation Inspections.
 Inspection Interval Determination and Issues Affecting Intervals.
 Maintenance Inspection Safety Practices.
 Soil- Air interface may accelerate corrosion on partially buried pipelines
