Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for the Design Engineers, Operations persons, maintenance, quality assurance, Inspection Engineers, and Plant integrity specialists. It is equally valuable to the Engineering Consultants and Contracting Companies who provide support services to Refining, Petrochemical and Chemical industries in the areas of shut-down inspection, maintenance, Repairs or plant up-gradations. Piping professionals who work in the oil and Gas, chemical, petroleum, power plants, petrochemical and other plants will find it a time-saving means to broaden and update their knowledge of piping.
