What will I learn?
This comprehensive “Subsea Pipeline Free Span” course comprises of lectures, case studies and
workshops providing an overview of free span assessment of rigid subsea pipelines. This course
provides an insight to fundamental issues for a robust, safe, and economical design of subsea
pipeline against free spans and also evaluation of free spans observed in in-service pipelines post
subsea survey. The topics of the course are carefully selected to cover free span engineering aspects
from conceptual to detailed design. The principal code followed in this course is DNV-RP-F105 “Free
Spanning Pipelines” supplemented with DNV-RP-C203 “Fatigue Design of Offshore Steel Structures”,
DNV-RP-C205 “Environmental Conditions and Environmental Loads”, DNV-OS-F101 “Submarine
Pipeline Systems” and PD 8010-2 “Code of practice for pipelines”.
This training course helps to gain understanding on:
• Steps involved in engineering and design of free spanning pipeline systems from for both
new and existing pipelines;
• Key topics related to engineering of free spans;
• Physical concept behind free spanning pipelines;
• Criteria for robust and safe design of free spanning pipelines.
