INDUSTRY TRAINING

VALVE INTEGRITY (VALVE SCHOOL)

Our Valve Integrity training course has been designed to help students acquire advanced knowledge of valve components and functions through 1.5 days of accelerated, theoretical instruction.  We deliver training at your site and go into your field to practice, developing hands-on skills for correct valve maintenance techniques.  We cover off on ball, gate, plug and globe valves.

Through our training students learn to maintain valves, improving life span and pipeline integrity.  They learn how to:

• Seal valve
• Use sealant injection equipment
• Service valves using correct procedures
• Troubleshoot leaking valves

As always we focus on safety ensuring students demonstrate an awareness of potentially hazardous situations including:

• How to read a pressure gauge
• Dangerous fittings
• Inline pressure
• Sour gas (H2S)
• Pipeline integrity
• Potential damage to environment
