Model Case Studies
Case Study 1: Pressure Vessel Rejected at Site Due to Incomplete PWHT
Root cause analysis and how to enforce ITP adherence.
Case Study 2: Import of a Reactor with Damaged Support Skirt
Packaging lapses and transit insurance issues.
Case Study 3: Multiple Bidder Comparison for Distillation Columns
How TBE and CBE formats helped finalize the best vendor.
Case Study 4: U-Stamp Delays Due to Missing Welder Certifications
How to manage code compliance during procurement.
Why This Training is Critical
Pressure vessels, reactors, and columns are high-value, high-risk items. A minor error in procurement or inspection can cause:
Delays in commissioning or shutdown extensions
Safety incidents due to code violations or faulty fabrication
Regulatory non-compliance with ASME, PED, or Indian Boiler Regulations
Rejections due to incorrect design parameters or documentation gaps
Our training ensures that professionals involved in equipment procurement understand not just the purchase process, but also the engineering, safety, compliance, and inspection aspects.
