About This Course

This course is designed for engineers and others who require an understanding of
pipeline design. It is designed to be exhaustive but to present a basic understanding
of the fluid flows in pipeline systems. Candidates are introduced to the basic
principles underlying fluid mechanics. The nature of statistics and liquids in motion
will be studied and fundamental equations covering fluid flow will be applied to
situations to which candidates are familiar. Candidates will, therefore, acquire
knowledge as to solutions of problems that they may encounter in the future.
The course will conclude by putting theory into context by considering the installation
of pipelines and fabrication techniques. Tutorials and additional help will be provided
at all stages.

Who Should Attend The Course

Mr. Barrie Moor Principal Engineer at Power System Protection Training, Australia.With 39 year’s experience in the Queensland electricity supply industry, our principal engineer, the seminar author and presenter, Barrie Moor, was involved in the design, coordination and implementation of protection schemes associated with Queensland’s HV and EHV transmission systems since 1981.Barrie also has extensive experience with the protection of large generating plants having had responsibility for the protection of generators at many of Queensland’s major power stations.
