Weld repair, temper bead, composite wraps, clamps, leak sealing, in-service welding, hot taps and post-repair NDE
What you'll learn
Work the run, repair, replace or rerate decision from an actual damage assessment rather than an assumption
Select the applicable repair method for a given damage mechanism, service and access constraint
Specify weld repairs including preheat, PWHT, and temper bead where PWHT is not possible
Assess and qualify composite repairs to ISO 24817, and recognise where they are being misapplied
Control mechanical clamps, enclosures, leak sealing and injection repairs and their specific risks
Understand and control in-service welding hazards - burn-through and hydrogen cracking
Plan, risk-assess and specify a hot tap to API 2201, and identify the alternatives that avoid one
Control temporary repairs with a register, an expiry and an owner, so they do not become permanent by default
Specify post-repair testing, NDE and pressure testing, and interpret the acceptance Requirements
Understand where rerating and fitness-for-service under API 579 are the better answer than repair
Requirements
No prior repair, welding or inspection experience is required - the methods are built up from the start
Any engineering or technical background is enough to follow the course
No mathematics beyond arithmetic - this is a specification and decision course
Helpful but not essential: some familiarity with pressure equipment, piping or an inspection programme
A copy of ASME PCC-2 is useful for reference afterwards but is not required to take the course
Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
▸ A code tells you how to build it. Almost nothing tells you what to do once it is damaged and still running.
Design codes assume new equipment. In-service codes assess fitness. Between them sits the question that actually lands on your desk: this line is leaking, this vessel has wall loss, the unit is running, and a decision is needed today. Run it, repair it, replace it, or rerate it - and if you repair it, by which method, under what controls, and how do you demonstrate afterwards that it was done properly?
ASME PCC-2 is the post-construction standard written for exactly this, and it is one of the least-taught documents in the industry. Most engineers meet it for the first time in the middle of an emergency.
▸ A repair decision framework, not a welding course
This course treats repair as a decision with engineering, risk and regulatory consequences rather than as a shop-floor technique. Each method is covered for what it can and cannot do, what it costs in downtime and access, what qualification it requires, and - critically - what makes it the wrong choice.
The interfaces are covered explicitly, because in practice PCC-2 never operates alone. Where the damage assessment comes from API 510, 570 or 653. Where fitness-for-service under API 579 decides whether a repair is even the right answer. Where ISO 24817 governs a composite repair and API 2201 governs a hot tap.
Five focused sections, worked through in an afternoon.
▸ What you will master
● Work the repair decision properly - run, repair, replace or rerate - with the damage assessment done first rather than assumed
● Navigate the scope and structure of ASME PCC-2 and find the applicable article quickly under pressure
● Specify weld repairs correctly, including preheat, PWHT and the cases where PWHT cannot be done
● Apply temper bead and controlled deposition welding, and know when it is the only route available
● Assess and specify composite repair systems to ISO 24817 - where they work, where they are misused, and how they are qualified
● Select and control mechanical clamps, enclosures and leak sealing, including injection repairs and their real risks
● Understand in-service welding hazards - burn-through and hydrogen cracking - and the parameters that control them
● Plan and risk-assess a hot tap to API 2201, and know the alternatives that avoid one entirely
● Control temporary repairs so they do not silently become permanent - the failure mode that keeps recurring across industry
● Specify post-repair testing and NDE, and build records and traceability that stand up years later
▸ Who this course is for
● Inspection and integrity engineers making run, repair and replace decisions on operating plant
● Maintenance and reliability engineers scoping and controlling repairs on live systems
● Mechanical, plant and project engineers responsible for pressure equipment and piping in service
● Welding and materials engineers specifying repair procedures, temper bead and overlay
● Turnaround and shutdown engineers building repair scope and deciding what can be deferred
● Asset owners, duty holders and technical authorities approving repairs and carrying the consequence
▸ The knowledge that is hard to find
Repair engineering is learned almost entirely by exposure - from a contractor, a welding engineer, or the aftermath of a repair that failed. There is no course in it at most companies, and the standard itself is written as a reference document rather than as an explanation. The result is a discipline where practice varies enormously and where the same avoidable mistakes appear on plant after plant.
The most expensive of those mistakes is not a bad weld. It is a temporary repair that nobody removed.
▸ Why learn it here
Taught by a Chartered Engineer (CEng MIMechE) with over fifteen years delivering safety-critical projects in oil, gas and energy infrastructure - from the perspective of someone who has had to make and defend these decisions on live plant rather than summarise them from the standard.
Practice varies by jurisdiction, by owner specification and by service, and this course says so throughout rather than presenting one company's approach as universal. Where a requirement is mandatory it is identified as mandatory; where it is a user-selected option or an industry convention, that is stated plainly.
▸ What you get
● Structured on-demand video across 20 focused lessons and five sections
● A final exam
● All lectures presentations downloadable
● Lifetime access on mobile and TV, and a certificate of completion
▸ No prior repair or welding experience is required - the methods are built up from first principles. Any engineering or technical background is enough to follow it.
Enrol now and make the repair decision before the repair decides itself.
