This comprehensive course offers a complete overview and practical understanding of blasting, painting, wrapping/coating, and cathodic protection as applied in oil and gas, pipeline, refinery, and industrial construction sectors.
You will begin with the fundamentals of surface preparation and move into techniques such as grit blasting, vapor cleaning, copper slag usage, painting equipment, and coating applications. The course introduces both theoretical and on-site aspects of blasting tools, blasting grades, inspection methods like holiday detection, adhesion tests, and visual coating checks.
It further includes wrapping and coating for underground piping, field inspection points, and practical troubleshooting. As pipelines and structures are highly prone to corrosion, you’ll explore the science behind cathodic protection and related safety considerations.
A special section covers SAR values and smart phone radiation awareness on sites, linking it to worker health and electromagnetic safety. You'll also study instrument usage, surface profile inspections, and site documentation like blasting reports and test pack sheets.
Whether you’re an NDT professional, QA/QC engineer, painting/coating technician, or a fresh mechanical engineer looking to enter the oil & gas field, this course will help build your foundation and practical knowledge.
