AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code - Steel - Live Webinar

COURSE INFORMATION

Many projects in the US and around the world where welding is involved now specify welding to be in accordance with AWS D1.1 code. These projects cover many industries like structural buildings, bridges, mining equipment, mining structures, marine applications, cranes and escalators, railroad equipment, etc.

By using certified AWS D1.1 companies or certified inspectors prove that fabrication and inspection is performed in accordance with the standard required for applicable project and helps to reduce the cost and time spent on rework or repairs and ensuring projects are delivered on time. 

This course will describe the requirements for certification for welding contractors (fabricator, manufacturer, installer), welding inspectors, visual welding inspection on welds, prequalification of welding procedures, and qualification of welding procedures. Additionally, the course will also highlight changes that will come in the new AWS D1.1 2025 edition later this year.

In the construction of buildings, bridges and other structural components welding is the indispensable method for joining metals. Therefore, the reliability of steel structures and machinery depends on the quality of the welds as well as the quality of the steel materials. In order to produce satisfactory weldments which, fulfill the requirements of quality, the integrity of quality control is very important. For integral quality control, all the personnel (including managers, engineers, inspectors, supervisors, foremen, welders, and welding operators) who are involved in the welding process should have adequate knowledge of weld imperfections and preventive measures. This presentation will provide requirements on how a company can achieve AWS D1.1 code compliance.
