Papers and presentations are now invited for this international forum which – among other aspects of the subject – will address key issues in pipeline-rehabilitation technologies and practical applications to pipeline inspection, evaluation and inspection methodologies, cathodic and anodic protection, coatings and linings, chemical treatment, coating repair, and recoating procedures. It is planned that the conference programme will be divided into the following broad areas of interest:

• Inspection – internal and external
• Integrity assessment
• Repair and rehabilitation practices and technologies
• Internal issues – including black powder, microbial corrosion
• External issues – including coatings, DCVG, direct assessment

In general, submissions should be drafted to:

• describe a new or improved method of solving a pipeline inspection, rehabilitation, or repair problem
• describe a field or failure analysis that illustrates the rationale in materials’ selection, repair
  methods, or inspection technology; and/or
• correlate and summarize previously-published information to emphasize its value in solving a practical problem

Proposals should include an abstract of no more than 200 words, accompanied by the author’s complete contact information and affiliation, and should be sent to:
