Pipeline Protection

There are estimated to be over 2.5 million kilometres of existing energy pipelines globally. In addition to these, there are similar numbers of water pipelines world-wide. It is recognised that a pipeline is the most environmentally-friendly, efficient and cost-effective way of transporting liquids, slurries and gases.

Yet without careful installation, regular inspection, monitoring, maintenance, and repair, refurbishment or upgrade, these installations will fail, potentially causing polluting leaks from hydrocarbon pipelines or unacceptable losses from water mains. Economic downturns may put pressure on pipeline owners to curtail expenditures but with in some cases ageing infrastructures, and in others demands for longevity in new pipelines, industries cannot afford to cut corners. 

For owners, designers, financiers, suppliers, constructors and operators of pipelines, the Pipeline Protection Conference offers an unrivalled European gathering of the World's experts and the capacity to provide the answers to fundamental problems.
