Pipeline Welding (Downhill) API 1104 Standard
Up to 100 Hours - $6,500

This course of instruction prepares individuals for entry-level jobs as a pipeline welder. Pipeline construction is used in the oil and gas industry (oil, refined products, or natural gas), transportation through pipes from the oil fields to the refining and storage facilities. Pipelines extend for thousands of miles from city to city and sometimes into neighboring states. Segments of pipe are welded together using the SMAW process, running an electrode (rod) in downhill progression. Students will learn the layout and preparation for 12×12 branch testing along with techniques used in the pipeline industry for speed and proficiency, “turn and burn”.  A graduate may find suitable employment in pipe trade unions, gas and electric companies, refineries, pipe yards, tank farms, fabrication shops. Students will be fully prepared to take a Pipeline Qualification Test, which is nationally recognized by the American Welding Society and required on many job sites. Pipeliners are one of the highest paying trades in the construction field today. Students will receive a Certificate of Completion for Structural Welding. Certifications not included in this price.
