October 30 - Alberta Section Fall Seminar
Download the event PDF for all information
Alberta’s energy industry, oil sands in particular, has faced some great challenges. In previous years, the key challenges were labor shortage, cost escalation and schedule delay on large capital projects. Considering the global economic climate, in future years it will be critical for the fabrication and construction industry to reduce costs, improve productivity and maintain project schedule. Productivity evaluations have identified that the adoption of modern welding technologies and automation can substantially improve shop production by 20 – 55% (and higher). Technologies that boost production, whilst maintaining quality, have benefits for the industry in both the short and long-term horizons.
The AWS Alberta Section is hosting a one-day education seminar that will showcase significant productivity-enhancing welding processes and automation specifically suited for fabrication within Alberta’s Energy Industries. The event will include welding demonstrations and will be of value for anyone involved in welding, including: shop foremen, superintendents, quality control personnel, professional engineers, welding inspectors, welders, and students of metals-related disciplines.
