Pipeline Integrity Management & Corrosion Mitigation
2026-01-19 - 2026-01-20 | NCR Delhi (Noida), Hotel Crowne Plaza, (Mayur Vihar-Delhi), Noida, India
AMPP India Chapter (NACE International India Section) is organizing the Educational Training Program on “Pipeline Integrity Management & Corrosion Mitigation” scheduled from 19 Jan (Monday) & 20 Jan (Tuesday) 2026 at Hotel Crowne Plaza, Mayur Vihar-Delhi, Noida.
OBJECTIVE – Pipelines are the most efficient, safe and economic mode of transport for Oil and Gas, Hydrocarbons and Water. Rightly considered the lifeline of modern industrial infrastructure, steel pipeline and vulnerable to atmospheric corrosion above ground and electrolytic corrosion in underground / marine environments. Pipeline Corrosion can result in colossal losses and create safety hazards for people, assets and the environment. India currently has nearly 69,800 km of operational cross-country pipelines for products transportation, with an additional 35,000 km under construction by early to end-2025.
Pipeline Integrity Management & Corrosion Mitigation techniques are essential for maintaining a safe and reliable pipeline asset. Based on the operational requirements, a pipeline may be assessed with a combination of various integrity tools during the life of the pipeline such as In-Line Inspection (ILI), Direct Assessment (DA), and Pressure Testing. Each integrity assessment method complements the other and do not have identical performances; rather each has an advantage over others. Essentially, there are three ways to confirm the physical condition of pipelines; Monitoring, and Inspections covering under Integrity Management. This will also dig deeper into the pivotal role of Coatings, Cathodic Protection (CP), AC/DC Interference detection and mitigation and how it related to overall pipeline integrity.
TOPICS TO BE COVERED – TRAINING PROGRAM
❖ The Role of Integrity Management in Oil & Gas Pipelines: A Global Perspective.
❖ Introduction to Pipeline Integrity Management Plans
❖ Pre-Design Considerations: Materials Selection and Survey Requirements
❖ Pipeline Integrity Management- Incidents and Learnings
❖ Pipeline Integrity Life Cycle and Risk Assessment
❖ Describe Remediation Activities and Repair Methods of Pipelines
❖ Understand How Direct Assessment Fits in the Overall Pipeline Integrity Management Plan
❖ Pipeline Coating and Cathodic Protection Systems
❖ Pipeline Standards & Regulations (Provisions of OISD/PNGRB/Others)
❖ Cathodic Protection System and AC / DE Interference & Mitigation
❖ Pipeline Data Analysis and Interpretation Techniques
❖ Case Studies – Pipeline Corrosion & Failure Analysis
❖ Certificate Distribution
WHY ATTEND:
The training program is aimed at reducing the end users’ cost of corrosion, predicting and preventing pipeline failures due to corrosion, enhancing product quality & improving plant safety. It also supports the long-term integrity of pipelines and describes the minimum requirements, guidelines and procedures necessary to control operating risks, etc. Participants will learn about corrosion management and various methods for mitigating corrosion-related losses in pipelines, along with the major corrosion challenges faced across the industry. The interactive sessions will provide an opportunity to clarify doubts and learn from the experiences of other professionals.

CORCON-2025: Landmark Event in the International Corrosion Conference Arena at Jaipur
2025-10-01 00:00 - 2025-11-30 00:00
CORCON over the last 31 years, has emerged as Asia’s largest and most prestigious corrosion conference on the subject of corrosion science and engineering.
“Our nation is building infrastructure at an unprecedented pace! India plans to spend nearly Rs 143,000 crore on infrastructure between the years 2024 and 2030. The Union Budget of 2025-26 alone has marked a record Rs 11.21 lakh crore, which is around 3.1% of our GDP. This is towards capital investment in infrastructure alone. Over the last decade, capital expenditure on infrastructure has grown five-fold, and by 2050, India will require around US$2.4 trillion in urban infrastructure investments,” said Mr Dipen Jhaveri, Chair, AMPP India Chapter. He was speaking at the inaugural function of CORCON 2025 at the Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre on October 6, 2025. “These facts make one thing clear, that as India builds more pipelines, refineries, petrochemical units, steel plants, power plants, and fertilizer units, more water. With systems and urban infrastructure, the demand for robust corrosion protection technologies has never been greater.
“CORCON brings together the best minds and organizations to address these challenges,” said Mr Jhaveri. “CORCON has grown over the last three decades into Asia’s largest corrosion conference, serving as a global platform for enhancing knowledge and best practices, showcasing innovations and technologies, building collaborations across industries, academia, and research, and also inspiring the next generation of corrosion professionals.”
This year, the 31 edition of CORCON hosted over 800 delegates, 80-plus exhibitors, and a remarkable lineup of eminent speakers from around India and the world.
