Description
The Combination Pipe Course equips students for entry into the pipe welding sector. Participants will gain expertise in independently beveling, fitting, and welding pipe using GTAW and SMAW techniques, both separately and in tandem. Industries involving plant shutdowns, turnarounds, and new constructions heavily rely on these processes. Consequently, the demand for skilled welders proficient in both methods is escalating due to the continuous aging of industrial plants
