Unit Of Competency
PMBWELD301E - Join polyethylene plastic pipelines using butt welding | PMBWELD302E Join polyethylene plastic pipelines using electrofusion welding
Training Prerequisites
This Poly Welding using Butt Welding and Electrofusion Welding methods is a course we run from our Gladstone training centre. This combined Poly Welding course includes the theoretical and practical components to meet the skills and knowledge required to undertake polyethylene welding (also known as poly welding) using both Butt and Electrofusion welding equipment. This is a combined course run over two consecutive days. If you require just the Butt Welding or just the Electrofusion Welding course, these are available separately.
This Gladstone based course is relevant to participants who may be involved in the installation and maintenance of pipelines transmitting gas and liquids, as well as those working in the mining sector.
Participants will gain the following skills and knowledge in relation to both methods of welding:
- Identifying materials being used in the installation as compatible for welding using butt welding and electrofusion methods
- Calculating appropriate welding parameters to be used
- Maintaining and calibrating welding equipment
- Performing welding
- Assessing quality of welded joints made
Training and assessment is conducted at Harness Energy Training facilities. Optionally, training and assessment can be conducted at the premises of industry clients providing there are suitable industry training facilities.
Upon successful completion of this course, a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for the following unit of competency will be issued:
PMBWELD301E Join polyethylene plastic pipelines using butt welding
PMBWELD302E Join polyethylene plastic pipelines using electrofusion welding
NOTE: Statement of Attainment will be issued by Harness Energy (RTO 40521)
Course Prerequisites
This course is suitable for those who are required to use a butt welder to form butt welds on polyethylene (PE) pipes and fittings as well as using an electrofusion welder.
A basic to moderate English language, literacy and numeracy skill level is required.
All participants are required to wear the following minimum PPE to enter our facilities:
- Fully enclosed shoes (steel-capped boots preferred)
