Piping: Structural Integrity

About The Course

Enhance your expertise in addressing technical challenges on a petrochemical plant. Join our introductory level ‘Piping Structural Integrity’ 2-day training course, designed to equip you with fundamental technical knowledge regarding in-plant piping integrity.

This course provides a solid foundation in the various technical aspects of in-plant piping, making it valuable for both technical and non-technical personnel involved in daily decision-making at petrochemical sites. The first day caters to operators, supervisors, technicians, and plant managers seeking to elevate their knowledge and problem-recognition capabilities in the field.

For those needing a deeper understanding of these technical problems and the ability to perform manual calculations, an optional second day is available.
