This course is for those new to or inexperienced in performing visual weld inspection. Attendees are introduced to the identication of weld discontinuities and defects, and also receive an overview of the importance of welding consumable storage, contro lling preheat and interpass temperatures, and the application of weld gauges.

N 2 HOURS , FOR: WELDERS, NEW QC WELD Inspectors l PREQUISITES: NONE

The course reviews the requirements from the Research Council on Structural Connections RCSC –Specication for Structural Joints using High-Strength Bolts. Attendees will understand the requirements for bolt storage, identication, joint types, installation and inspection of different types of bolted connections. Participants also learn the requirements for Pre-Installation Verication and conduct hands on exercises performing that test while creating a quality record for the process.

N 2.5 HOURS REMOTE/3 HOURS ON-SITE , FOR: QC BOLT Inspectors, QC MANAGEMENT l PREQUISITES: NONE

Client-Specific QMS Training

For employees with management responsibilities in the AISC Quality Management System (QMS). Training can be customized to assessment/audit results with an emphasis on identied issues. Attendees learn AISC certication standard requirements and use of the quality manual with handson exercises.

N 1-3 days , FOR: New Quality Management Representatives, Management involved in the QMS l PREQUISITES: NONE

Simple Bridge Fabricator Training

An introduction/review of the quality systems controlling fabrication of simple bridges (un-spliced rolled structural sections) to AASHTO, AWS, and NSBA requirements. Upon completion, attendees should understand basic bridge geometry, contents of typical design drawings and speci cations, and best practices for bridge detailing, purchasing, fabrication, and quality control.

N 4 HOURS , FOR: Detailers, Purchasing, PROJECT, Production & Quality Management l PREQUISITES: NONE

Intermediate Bridge Fabricator Training

An introduction/review of the quality systems controlling fabrication of intermediate bridges (spliced rolled beams, plate girders, and simple trusses) to AASHTO, AWS, and NSBA requirements. Upon completion, attendees should understand the concepts covered in the Simple Bridge Fabricator course as well as intermediate bridge geometry, shop assembly, best practices for fabrication and quality control of intermediate bridges, and guidelines for developing in-house certi cation programs for qualifying and certifying Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technicians, as well as reviewing subcontractor NDT plans.

N 4 or 8 HOURS , FOR: DETAILERS, PURCHASING & PRODUCTION MANAGERS & INSPECTIORS l PREQUISITES: Simple Bridge Training or experience

Advanced Bridge Fabricator Training

A continuation from the Intermediate Bridge Fabricator course that provides participants an introduction or review of the quality systems controlling fabrication of advanced bridges (curved plate girders, moveable bridges, arches, cable stayed bridges, and complex trusses). Advanced bridge fabricator training addresses shop challenges associated with complex girder fabrication, distortion control, and shop assembly.
