Description

ABOUT COURSE

Inspection is observation of construction for conformance with the approved design documents. This training program will highlight and cover all the inspection & testing aspects for concrete and steel structure construction, and building envelope. The training course will enable individuals, who are in the inspection and testing field or want to be a specialist inspector, to understand the nature and the importance of this function.

This training course will help the attendees to understand the types of inspection and testing involved in a construction project, which are mandatory to assure the quality of materials used as well as the workmanship.

WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS COURSE

This program is suitable to a wide range of professionals: Architects, Engineers, Practicing Building Construction Inspectors, Project Engineers, NDE Lab Personnel, Technicians and Technologists involved with building construction.
