Structural steel fabrication and welding for engineers - Brisbane - COURSE FULL

Please note that this course has now reached capacity but if you wish to add your name to a list to be notified of the next course to be held in 2013, please email John Gardner at johng@steel.org.au

Engineering practitioners who design and specify fabricated steel structures need a practical understanding of steel materials, the processes and practices of welding, cutting and forming, and weld testing and quality control. This knowledge is essential if fabricated steel structures are to be economical, practical and fit-for-purpose.  Few such professionals have the opportunity to gain substantial exposure to fabrication workshops or testing activities. This short course fills the gap by combining broad theory and hands-on practical experience.

On completion you will be able to:

• Design structures to suit specific fabrication processes, procedures and automation.
• Specify non-destructive testing procedures appropriately with better understanding of limitations.
• Understand basics of heat-affected zones, residual stresses and distortion.
• Avoid many common design errors in steel structures.

The course has three components: basic theoretical learning of steel and welding, hands on workshop time and guest speakers, spread over 9 weeks.

This is also an affordable opportunity to boost your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours. The course comprises 27 contact hours and counts as Engineers Australia CPD points. Minimum registrations are required before commencement of this course. Places are limited to 14 persons so please register early to avoid disappointment. EA and WTIA members can email proof of their membership to davidk@steel.org.au to receive their promo code before registering.
