Plant Inspection and Static Equipment Integrity

A plant inspector is the eyes of the integrity programme, and what they record decides what gets repaired before it fails. This course builds the practical skills of inspecting vessels, tanks, piping and heat exchangers, choosing the right technique and writing findings that others can act on. Delegates leave able to plan and carry out inspections that stand up to review.
