Integrity through Knowledge

Training

Joint integrity programs do not succeed without

the right level of knowledge in the field. Even the
best tools will fail if applied in the wrong way. While
IES is happy to provide consulting and supervisory
services, in some cases the preference is to improve
in-house knowledge.
To facilitate that, IES provide several levels of
training, designed to suit the requirements of any
organization.
At the highest level, IES Senior Engineer (SE) Training
is designed to take an individual with good working
knowledge of bolted joint design and operation and
bring their knowledge to a level such that they can
act as a site or company-wide technical resources.
The IES courses focus on practical considerations,
rather than re-iteration of the codes and standards
requirements.
In addition, IES provide summary in-person or online
courses for training all levels of the organization.
Alternatively, IES provides training modules to
the organization on a lease basis, such that the
organization SE’s can training other levels within
the organization. This method of providing “Train
the Trainer” knowledge transfer allows knowledge The information presented in the training modules is
within the organization to grow organically at a pace packed with practical, industry leading information.
that is dictated by need and workload. By leasing the
training modules, this ensures that they are kept up You’ll find no better out there, that’s our
to date by IES with current industry best practice. guarantee!

The goal of Integrity Engineering Solutions Course Feedback:

training is to provide industry leading, practical
training that can be applied in the field
immediately.
Our training programs are the only ones that
follow the full life-cycle of equipment. This is done
so that you get an understanding of how one
decision will impact other parts of the equipment
life-cycle. By not focusing on only design, or only
assembly, everything is tied together and the
relevant importance of each learning point becomes
apparent.
We don’t simply follow a code or guideline, even
though we wrote some of them.
We only provide you with information that is
relevant and practical. In other words, we distill
the information down into what you really need
to know. But the biggest difference is of course –
why learn from others, when you can learn straight
from the horses-mouth! We’ve spent the last 20
years advancing technology and perfecting the
techniques currently considered leading edge in
bolted joints.
100% of the attendees have reported that the
training can be applied to their jobs right now and
will improve joint integrity.
Lead Integrity Engineer - “The information put
together for this course on BFJ integrity is the best I
have seen on the topic. It goes well beyond assembly
methods and traditional treatise on BFJ like ASME
S8D1 design and actually discusses optimizing (i.e.:
maximizing) bolt assembly loads, considering gasket,
flange and bolt limits, joint relaxation and assembly
short comings. Not only will engineering personnel
gain a lot on the discussion of the background of
assembly practices, but there is an enlightening
discussion on best and worst practices as well. And
this is just the reading material! The dialogue and
experiences of attendees and the insight of Dr Brown
makes this truly a great learning experience.”
Turnaround Co-ordintator - “IES’s Bolted
Joint Training has the unique combination of
understanding what happens in the field, and the
theory of bolted flanges. This helps to prioritize where
we should focus efforts to easily solve most leaking
flange problems.”
