The concept of a Pipeline College is developed and ready to implement. Click here to read the Tulsa Pipeline Liners' Club Letter of Sponsorship for this College.  We would appreciate the classes be conducted in shops and warehouses where the students can have a hands-on experience to see how it looks and works.  If your company would like to provide a class, please contact BKW to setup.

We are requesting the managers of pipeline companies and engineering companies to encourage their operators and engineers to attend these classes.  This will broaden their knowledge of pipelining and increase efficiency.

We have been encouraged by the response we have received so far that this college is necessary.  So please help us make it a success by attending classes or by having your company present a class.  Please review the following information:

Below are the large variety of topics  in the pipeline and engineering fields that we may have classes on, including:

  • Project Management
  • Pipeline Design
  • Survey, Mapping and Right of way
  • Buoyancy Control
  • Compressor Stations
  • Pump Stations
  • Measurment for Liquid and Natural Gas
  • Corrosion Control
  • Operations
  • Environment
  • Safety
  • Pipeline Construction
  • Piping
  • Welding
  • Valves
  • Pigging Equipment
