                    On February 13-14, 2020, TWI Azerbaijan successfully
                        held training for the engineering staff
                        of SOCAR - KBR as an extension of
                        the positive cooperation between the two
                        companies.
                    The purpose of the training was to improve
                        the professionalism of young employees and
                        to familiarise experienced engineers with
                        technical innovations. TWI Azerbaijan is
                        proud to support anyone who wants to achieve
                        professional development.
                    The training proved a success with the engineering
                        personnel from SOCAR - KBR who attended
                        the free event. The event provided an 'Introduction
                        to Construction Codes' as well as
                        information on 'Manufacturing Imperfections
                        and Inspection Methods' and details
                        of the current challenges faced by industry.
                    
                    The training was conducted for two days with
                        two sessions. On the first day of training,
                        participants were given presentations and
                        lectures on NDT methods, their applications,
                        and construction codes (ASME SEC VIII, ASME
                        B3).
                    On the second day, the topics included welding
                        defects and prevention methods, a damage
                        mechanism overview based on API 571, and
                        in-service inspection codes and their applications
                        (API 510,653,570). Lectures presented in
                        practical videos were greeted with interest
                        by the participants.
                    There was also an opportunity for attendees
                        to ask their own questions related to plant
                        integrity, ASME Section VIII, API 570, materials
                        inspection and so forth. Our lecturer, Hamidreza
                        Saadat, provided immediate answers and comments
                        to the questions related to inspection,
                        damage mechanism and corrosion.
                    According to the survey results, attendee
                        feedback about the training was very positive.
                        This feedback helsp us to improve our service
                        quality and motivate us to organise more
                        events for the future.
