Construction & Building Envelope Inspection

Inspection is observation of construction for conformance with the approved design documents. This training course will highlight and cover all the inspection & testing aspects for concrete and steel structure construction, and building envelope. The training course will enable individuals, who are in the inspection and testing field or want to be a specialist inspector, to understand the nature and the importance of this function.

This training course will help the attendees to understand the types of inspection and testing involved in a construction project, which are mandatory to assure the quality of materials used as well as the workmanship. This training course will also provide guidance and recommendations for design and inspection consideration in an effort to provide a long-lasting exterior building envelope system.

This training course will feature:                                                                                                                                                  

• Discussions on the quality management system
• The importance of inspection and testing activity
• Applying the inspection and testing in many construction areas
• Focusing on practical and theoretical ways of inspection
• How to integrate new inspection technique into the work domain

By the end of this training course, participants will be familiar with:

• Testing and inspection techniques of engineering materials
• Workmanship in building construction
• Familiar with NDE for the steel and welding
• Have the capability to inspect the finishing work activity
• Testing and inspection for road construction
• The ways and skills for the inspection

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. The illustration will depend on videos and photos.

• Enhance the quality of inspection process which affects the organization quality.
• Improve the organization maintenance scheme which reduce cost
• Improve the organization investment by new ideas to enhance sustainability of the oil and gas project
• The revenue of reduce cost by providing a durable structure by better design, construction or maintenance

• Enhance the assessment and evaluation capability of the trainee
• Increase knowledge of up to date of repair methods
• Increase the skill for maintenance approach
• Increase the skill to enhance quality of all phases of the oil and gas projects

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals:

• Architects
• Engineers
• Practicing Building Construction Inspectors
• Project Engineers
• NDE Lab Personnel
• Technicians and Technologists involved with building construction

This training course will also benefit contractors and building owners, who wish to become more effective by better understanding the requirements for inspections as well as the role and responsibilities of construction inspectors.
