The Imperial Corporate Training Institute offers Piping System: Repair and Welding Techniques Training Course aims to provide professionals associated with the oil and gas sector with the technical clarity, operating confidence, and corporate-ready practical skills necessary to handle complex piping repairs. As facilities are pushed to maximize capacity and face higher expectations for safety, reliability, and sustainability, being able to deal with piping failures, structural deterioration, variability in welding, and procedures during an emergency shutdown is strategically vital. This course attempts to prepare a participant to successfully respond to these situations with a focus on delivering results, not theory specific to engineering.
Built around performance, decision-making, and technical execution, the syllabus contains concrete applied engineering insight into an operationally practical model of a work environment. Participants will learn about diagnosing why and how piping failure modes happen, recognizing and performing various repair options, selecting reasonable repairs and some welding methods, International Standards, and functioning competently under pressure. Upon completion of the training, professionals leave with a corporate property level of understanding and awareness of piping integrity as part of a repair sequencing, welding techniques, to support asset performance, reduced downtime and stronger operational continuity for oil and gas projects.
Objectives
At the end of this course attendees will be able to:
- Increased participants’ ability to assess piping systems conditions, integrity concerns, and vulnerabilities during operation.
- Developed a clear understanding of repairs methodologies, decisions on temporary vs. permanent repairs, and cost-risk assessment.
- Improved technical capabilities in welding, welding metallurgy, and defect avoidance.
- Aligned repair and welding methodology with various codes – ASME, API, and ISO.
- Increased participants’ decision making abilities in fixed repair contingencies and corporate environment with high stakes.
- Developed participants’ abilities to plan, manage, and carry out piping repairs with operational discipline and safety assurance.
- Increased knowledge of inspection tools, diagnostic techniques, and reliability-based repair practices.
- Increased confidence to evaluate the contractor performance and control welding quality.
Target audience
This course is ideal for:
- Maintenance engineers working in plants, terminals, and refineries in the oil and gas sector.
- Piping engineers, mechanical engineers, and asset integrity engineers responsible for the performance of a piping system and piping repairs.
- Reliability personnel and operations professionals responsible for repair planning and shutdown work execution.
- Supervisors and foremen working in welding, fabrication, or maintenance responsibilities.
- HSE and QA/QC personnel monitoring the integrity of the organization systems and to ensure safety and quality of the welding activity.
- Corporate managers and technical managers who influence the performance of assets and maintenance budgets.
- Professionals shifting into the oil and gas repair and maintenance domain.
