The FDS Group, which comprises sealing companies Flexitallic Group, Novus Sealing, Siem Supranite and Induseal Gaskets, has launched The Academy of Joint Integrity.
The academy has dedicated facilities in the UK in Aberdeen, Teeside/Humberside, West Yorkshire and worldwide in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, South Africa, Nigeria, Thailand, China, the Middle East and Kazakhstan.
According to the FDS Group, its training programmes address the lack of standardised qualifications for bolted joint assemblers, identified by the industry as a leading cause of joint leakage, which can result in personnel injury and, for example, hydrocarbon releases that are viewed as precursors to major incidents.
It says that it has created the academy to provide accredited and awareness training courses in joint integrity and flange management processes, underpinning the importance of using certified bolted joint assemblers to achieve and maintain a leak-free bolted connection.
Gary Milne manages the Global Client Training Division of the FDS Group and heads up the new academy.
