Big opportunities tomorrow.
This program trains engineers in inspection and maintenance strategies for static equipment like vessels, tanks, exchangers, to ensure mechanical integrity and compliance.
The Static Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Program focuses on inspection, assessment, and maintenance of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, columns, and drums to ensure safe and reliable operation. It covers static equipment overview and the role of inspection personnel. Inspection techniques include visual inspection, thickness measurement, NDT coordination, and damage identification. Damage mechanisms addressed include corrosion types, creep, fatigue, mechanical damage, and environmental effects. Internal inspection covers access planning, cleanliness checks, internal component inspection, and documentation. External inspection includes supports and skirts, nozzles and flanges, insulation removal, and coating condition assessment. Repairs and maintenance cover weld repairs, nozzle replacement, clamps and sleeves, and temporary repair techniques. Hydrotest and pressure testing include test planning, execution, acceptance criteria, and test records. Code and standard compliance addresses ASME and API basics, fitness-for-service concepts, acceptance limits, and audit readiness. HSE and permit compliance include confined space safety, pressure hazards, chemical exposure control, and PPE standards. Shutdown and turnaround activities cover inspection scoping, resource coordination, execution sequencing, and proper handover practices.
The module highlights how thoughtful planning can directly improve project quality, reduce accidents, and help projects finish on time and within budget.
Mechanical engineers or inspectors with experience in static equipment.
