CERTIFICATION DESCRIPTION

This certification is designed to equip inspectors engineers and technicians the correct methods and procedures to properly verify and inspect Engineered Composite Repair System (ECR Systems) throughout the repair process of piping systems. It has been built upon decades of data gleamed from industrial usage, testing, industry standards, and practical experience with composite materials. 

It will be highly beneficial to any user of composite materials for pipe repair (but also for authorities) to establish a firm foundation of knowledge and understanding of the needs of these systems to ensure successful usage. Topics covered include different types of ECR systems and repair design, engineering assessment forms and design / calculation documents, critical hold prints and quality control forms, proper preparation of surface and mixing of materials as well as other items relevant to the usage of ECR systems.

The inspection methods, techniques, and processes discussed during this certification will work with ECR Systems to ensure proper installation and working conditions regardless of the specific product system being used.

WHO SHOULD APPLY

• Anyone who wishes to learn how to inspect and validate the installation of ECR systems in their facilities, and/or anyone overseeing the team who is providing the installation services.
• Anyone who wishes to perform post-installation inspection services for future inspection and recommissioning or revalidating in-service composite repair systems.
• Highly recommended to:
  • Plant inspectors
  • Site engineers
  • Reliability engineers
  • Pipeline inspectors
  • Painting / coating inspectors
  • Plant maintenance department personnel
  • Others who may be required or desires to inspect an ECR System which is installed for the repair and rehabilitation of pipelines or piping systems with composite materials
  • Authorities
