COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Feasibility of Repair of Components from Plant Equipment. It covers the factors influencing repair feasibility and industry best practices for repair decision-making; the types of plant equipment and components for repair; the common causes of equipment failure; the inspection and failure analysis techniques, repair feasibility criteria and decision-making; the standards and best practices in repair feasibility; and the non-destructive testing (NDT) methods.

Further, the course will also discuss the material selection and evaluation for repairability; the welding and fabrication considerations in repairs; the mechanical and structural integrity assessment; the cost estimation and budgeting for equipment repair; the environmental and sustainability considerations in repair feasibility; the mechanical repair techniques for plant equipment including thermal spray coatings and surface treatment in repairs; and the welding and overlay repair techniques.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the composite repair technologies for structural components; additive manufacturing (3D printing) for equipment repair, repair planning and execution strategy; the qualification of welding procedures and personnel; the inspection and certification of repaired components; the risk assessment and reliability engineering in repairs, preventive maintenance and repair optimization; and the contractor selection, vendor management for repairs and digitalization and AI in repair feasibility analysis.
