Engineering Surveyor Pressure Vessel Inspection

PRESSURE EQUIPMENT INSPECTION FOR ENGINEER SURVEYORS

-4 weeks of online training followed by a 1-day practical vessel assessment module.

– Local locations around the UK for the practical day and examination

This course will give you a head start in pressure equipment inspection as performed by Engineer Surveyors. It goes outside the scope offered by many in-company training programmes. We have trained 5000+ inspectors in inspecting industrial pressure equipment to in-service inspection codes from ASME/API/DNV and similar.  There is legal compliance to inspect certain pressure equipment under the Pressure System Safety Regulations 2000, make sure you are completing these inspections competently.

While the ASME Plant Inspector Level 1 course is aimed primarily at the petrochemical industry, there are many industries that simply do not operate in the same environment where aggressive damage mechanisms exist. mechanisms that

Who will benefit from this course?

1. Engineer surveyors new to the inspection industry or interested in expanding into pressure systems from lift/crane or other equipment.
2. Engineer surveyors wishing to progress their careers in larger-plant integrity inspection.
3. Overall, more than 50% of our inspection training delegates self-fund their training to improve their job prospects. We also run in-house courses for employers where required.

What does attending this provide? 

An externally-recognised inspection qualification. WILKINSON COUTTS is one of the largest providers of specialist ASME/API/Integrity training companies in the UK. We are an established training provider for some of the largest companies in the oil/petrochemical industry and our certificates are well-recognised. We are an ASME-approved training provider for our Levels 1/2/3 Plant Inspector courses.

Improved prospects for Surveyor roles involving pressure equipment inspection.

Our course will show you how to;

1. Use recognised inspection codes and link them to the GB Pressure System Safety Regulations (PSSRs).
2. Assess the severity of pressure equipment defects according to recognised codes.
3. Justify your technical decisions and non-non-conformance reports with valid engineering arguments
4. Assess repair options.
5. Understand the principles of integrity and fitness-for-service assessments (FFS) on damaged equipment (PSSR minor systems)

What happens during the practical/assessment day?

Once you’ve completed the on-line training modules, we invite you to attend a practical vessel assessment day. Here you demonstrate the assessment and reporting principles you’ve learned on the course and take the final certificate test.

Regular assessment days are held at multiple venues around the UK: NE/NW/Midlands/SE/SW, East Anglia/Humberside/ Scotland so you shouldn’t have to travel too far outside your area.
