Synopsis

Welding activities play a vital role during the construction phase especially in the marine and oil and gas industry, be it new construction, refurbishment or conversion projects. This course gives the essence of welding knowledge in the engineering construction, especially suitable for young engineers who intend to gain a fundamental but solid grounding on welding inspection. You will learn the structured and integrated welding technology, welding process, welding defects, duties of inspection engineers at site, tools and techniques that are applicable to managing the welding activities, welding symbols and etc. The course contents are closely referenced to CSWIP course note for welding inspector course. This two-day intensive course is both practical and interactive, supplemented with useful course note, real-life case studies and working examples.
