About the Course: This course provides in-depth guidance on managing geohazards affecting operational pipelines, aligning with the ISO 20074:2019 standard. Led by Andy Young, the course focuses on leveraging in-line inspection (ILI) techniques for hazard identification and assessment. These techniques offer precise measurement data to determine whether a pipeline has experienced unexpected external or operational loads. Through comparative analysis of successive inspections, participants will learn how to evaluate the activity state of geohazards and the threats they pose to pipeline integrity. ILI data also supports robust threat evaluations, including structural assessments. The course covers a wide range of topics, including geohazard characteristics, ground conditions, and terrain analysis.  Key Details: Dates: To be confirmed – please register your interest to stay updated Duration: 8 hours Level: Tier 2, Certificate Programs (Foundation) Delivery Method: Live, expert-led online training via Microsoft Teams Group Size: Small group - approximately 15 participants  Who Should Attend? Engineers and operators with an introductory understanding of the topic, seeking to deepen their knowledge Competency Standard: Meets ROSEN’s Competency Standard, Geohazards (CS051F) Upon program completion, you will receive: A Certificate of Completion recognizing your accomplishment, along with Professional Development (CPD/CEU) Hours to support your professional growth Presented by: Andy Young Andy Young is a Principal Geohazards Engineer with ROSEN Integrity Services in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

This course, designed by Dr. Edmund Bennett, builds on the introductory course 'An Introduction to Machine Learning' in the Pipeline Industry by providing relevant and practical examples of predictive analytics for external pipeline corrosion. Topics include input data, feature engineering, and the presentation of outputs. Model validation and common pitfalls to avoid are also covered. Designed for Asset Managers, Integrity Engineers, and Data Scientists, the course will help you develop a practical understanding of how machine learning models can be used to predict external corrosion metal loss, while emphasizing the importance of model validation and a holistic approach to pipeline integrity. Lesson 1 introduces the course objectives and the Integrity Analytics framework for pipeline integrity prediction. It then shifts to a more technical focus, covering the selection of predictive models, predictor (output) variables, and model inputs. Lesson 2 explores model validation, model outputs, and reporting processes. It concludes with a discussion on the importance of integrated service offerings.   Meet the Expert Edmund leads ROSEN’s Integrity Analytics team, delivering analytics consultancy globally. He has extensive experience managing data scientists and software developers using both Waterfall and Agile methodologies. With a strong background in software development, he has delivered solutions for local and cloud-hosted environments, including greenfield and complex brownfield ecosystems such as the HMRC NIRS UK tax system. Proficient in Python, Java, SQL, and Scala, Edmund also works with supporting technologies like Kubernetes, Azure DevOps, Git, SQL Server, Oracle DB, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. He specializes in data science, machine learning, and statistical modelling, particularly in challenging environments requiring clear vision and strategic execution. His expertise extends to risk management, regulatory compliance, and developing validated models for high-confidence decision-making. Edmund has worked across industries and has developed techno-economic simulations for wind turbine connections, IoT reporting dashboards, automation solutions, and engineering collaboration systems. Additionally, he provides direction in fine-tuning Large Language Models, agent-based simulations, and numerical models to ensure reliable, impactful outcomes. Read more
