| Hot Work - Members will learn to safely set up, light and adjust the flame, correctly make straight line cuts, bevel cuts, and pierce holes with an oxyacetylene torch. The materials used will include angle iron, channel iron, I-beam, and sheet steel of various grades and thickness. Members will be exposed to techniques for obtaining smooth cut edges, retain proper dimensions after cutting, and hole sizing accuracy, through proper selection of cutting components. Projects will include fabrication of angle clips, strong backs, and various configurations of cover plates along with "scarfing" applications. Required from member: Hardhat, safety glasses, scribe, work attire, work boots, leather gloves, long sleeve shirt, UBC number. ******************************************************************* Machinery Alignment- Members will be trained in the methods to set up dial indicators to determine alignment conditions. These methods will include "Rim and Face" and "Opposed Indicator" reading. The course will inlude checking for soft-foot, rough alignment, dial indicator reading, calculating for required shims (using graphs and mathmatical formulas), and final shaft alignment. Required from member: Hardhat, safety glasses, scribe, tape measure, work attire, work boots, calculator, pencil, UBC number. ******************************************************************* MW16 Hr. Safety- This 16 hour class covers O.S.H.A. safety guidelines for the construction industry. Upon completion the member will receive an official O.S.H.A. 10 hr. training card as well as the "Smart Mark" card recognized on the east coast and the Millwright 16 Hr. Safety card. This class is one of the three (3) prerequisites needed to obtain the GE Turbine Qualification card. The class for that qualification is held at the International Training Center in Las Vegas. Required from member: Work attire, work boots, pen/pencil, UBC number. ******************************************************************* GE/Hytorc : This class includes turbine familiarization, optical instrument set up and use, as well as a hands on application using a Hytorc bolt tightening machine. Upon completion of this class, the member will receive a "Hytorc Bolting Tecqnician" card. This class is one of the three (3) prerequisites needed to obtain the GE turbine Qualification card. The class for that qualification is held at the International Training Center in Las Vegas. Requied from member: Work attire, work boots, safety glasses, pen/pencil, UBC number. ******************************************************************* Rigging Procedures: This class addresses safety regulations and rigging practices related to rigging, rigging hardware, and safe rigging practices. Hands-on inspections and riging projects are emphasized. This class is one of the three (3) prerequisites needed to obtain the GE Gas Turbine Qualification card. The class for that qualification is held at the International Training Center in Las Vegas. Required from member: Work attire, work boots, pen/pencil, calculator, UBC number. ******************************************************************* Fork Lift / Aerial Lift These one day each classes include classroom safety information as well as practical applications driving and operating the equipment. Required from member: Work attire, work boots, UBC number. ************************************************** Blueprint/Layout Students will be instructed on blueprint standards and how to analize them for errors. We will go through prints ranging from excellent to very poor. This will give students the opportunity to determine if information is missing and, if so, how to find the answers. Students will learn to read an architect scale and see how some prints can be scaled, while others can not. This course includes basic geometry and math principles concerning circles and triangles. Students will learn the functions of a construction calculator to solve typical layout procedures and problems. These functions include, but are not limited to, converting meteric to standard, angles to degrees, feet and inches to decimal, board feet problems, stair layout, run, rise & diagonal calculations, etc. Students will also be presented with a series of layout problems. These activities will help students learn how to obtain layout solutions for fabrication and installation through 'hands-on' exercises. |
