The Pideya Learning Academy proudly presents the “Piping System Design and Maintenance Techniques” training program—an in-depth, technically robust course designed to equip engineering professionals with the knowledge needed to design, maintain, and manage high-integrity piping systems in complex industrial environments. With piping systems forming the lifeblood of facilities across oil & gas, chemical processing, energy production, and refining sectors, this training provides participants with an essential understanding of engineering standards, system behavior, and long-term maintenance strategies.
Globally, mechanical integrity issues remain a major concern across processing plants. According to the 2023 report by the American Petroleum Institute (API), over 60% of unplanned shutdowns in refineries and chemical facilities are traced to piping-related mechanical failures. Similarly, findings by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) indicate that more than 30% of industrial incidents are due to improper design, corrosion, or inadequate inspection of process piping. These statistics underline the urgent need for industry professionals to attain code literacy and master the tools needed to uphold piping integrity throughout a system’s lifecycle.
In response to this need, Pideya Learning Academy has carefully structured this training to align with globally recognized standards such as ASME B31.3, API 570, and related codes. The course delves into piping system design fundamentals, materials engineering, fabrication techniques, system stress evaluation, code interpretation, and inspection best practices. Participants will develop a strong grasp of how different piping materials behave under varying pressure and temperature conditions, and how to make design decisions that reduce operational risks and extend asset life.
The training is further enriched with technical case reviews that offer insights into real-world failures and their corrective strategies. This empowers participants to avoid similar challenges by applying best practices in system layout, corrosion control, stress management, and life assessment. From understanding the concept of Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) to identifying non-compliance risks during inspection and maintenance, attendees will gain a comprehensive skill set to support safe, economical, and code-compliant operations.
Integrated into this training experience are several standout features designed to add exceptional value. Participants will benefit from:
A comprehensive breakdown of ASME B31.3 and its implications in design workflows
Real-world application of material selection, fabrication standards, and testing criteria
Focused instruction on flexibility analysis and stress evaluation of piping systems
Clear interpretation of code clauses—both mandatory and non-mandatory
Insight into pressure testing procedures and industry-compliant certification steps
Methods for evaluating repair versus replacement scenarios under API 570
Techniques for calculating Remaining Life and MAWP for critical piping assets
By the end of the program, participants will not only be fluent in interpreting key code requirements but also confident in applying them to engineering, maintenance, and inspection tasks. The “Piping System Design and Maintenance Techniques” course represents Pideya Learning Academy’s continued commitment to advancing engineering excellence across sectors where piping reliability and safety are mission-critical.
Whether you’re involved in new construction, retrofitting existing systems, or overseeing long-term maintenance, this course offers indispensable knowledge and technical insight to elevate your professional expertise and contribute to safer, more efficient operations.
