Apply BS 7910 with Confidence This November

Structural integrity refers to a structure’s capacity to support its designed load safely, including its own weight and external forces such as wind, traffic, or operational stresses, without breaking or deforming beyond acceptable limits. It ensures that buildings, bridges, aircraft, and other engineered systems perform their intended function throughout their expected lifespan, preventing catastrophic failures that could result in injuries, property damage, or financial loss. Therefore, engineering decisions surrounding structural integrity can have a lasting impact on safety, reliability and asset performance. Whether assessing pipelines, pressure vessels, offshore structures or welded components, understanding how to evaluate flaws accurately is essential for making informed, cost-effective decisions.

Professionals looking to strengthen their skills in this field are recommended to join TWI Training's Structural Integrity Assessment and Practical Application of BS 7910 Procedures – Online Live Course, running from 11–18 November 2026. Delivered through interactive online sessions, the course offers a practical and flexible way to develop expertise without the need to travel.

Designed for structural, civil, maintenance, pipeline, materials, welding, inspection and plant engineers, the programme introduces the principles of fitness-for-purpose and engineering critical assessment (ECA) before exploring how these concepts are applied using BS 7910, the recognised standard for assessing flaws in metallic structures. Delegates will study topics including fracture mechanics, fatigue crack growth, brittle and ductile fracture, failure assessment diagrams (FADs), fracture toughness, non-destructive testing, material behaviour and real engineering failure case studies.

What sets this course apart is its emphasis on practical application. Alongside technical theory, participants work through interactive discussions, software exercises and real-world examples using CrackWISE, helping to build confidence in applying BS 7910 procedures to welded structures and engineering components encountered in industry.

This LIVE online format also allows you to engage directly with experienced specialists while balancing professional commitments. Sessions are spread across weekday mornings over two weeks, making it easier for busy engineers to develop specialist knowledge without extended time away from work.

As organisations continue to extend asset life, optimise maintenance strategies and manage ageing infrastructure, the ability to carry out robust structural integrity assessments is becoming increasingly valuable. Engineers equipped with practical knowledge of BS 7910 are better positioned to support safe operations, improve decision-making and contribute to the long-term reliability of critical assets.

Following strong interest in previous deliveries, the next Structural Integrity Assessment and Practical Application of BS 7910 Procedures – Online Live Course begins on 11 November 2026. If you're looking to expand your expertise in structural integrity assessment and gain practical experience applying one of the industry's most recognised standards, now is the ideal time to secure your place.
