Pipework and Pipe Fitting Maintenance for Process Plants

Process plants across Africa rely on kilometres of pipework carrying water, steam, chemicals and gases, yet leaks and joint failures remain a persistent maintenance headache. This programme equips fitters and maintenance staff to inspect, repair and replace pipework and fittings correctly. Delegates cover joint types, gasket selection, flange assembly and safe isolation so repairs hold and downtime is reduced.
