Klappentext Pipeline engineering requires an understanding of a wide range of topics. Operators must take into account numerous pipeline codes and standards! calculation approaches! and reference materials in order to make accurate and informed decisions. "A Quick Guide to Pipeline Engineering" provides concise! easy-to-use! and accessible information on onshore and offshore pipeline engineering. Topics covered include: design; construction; testing; operation and maintenance; and decommissioning. Basic principles are discussed and clear guidance on regulations is provided! in a way that will prove useful to both engineers and students.
