Boilermaking

​

It covers the following modules:

Boilers heat water or other fluids under extreme pressure to generate electric power and to provide heat.  Large tanks and vats are used to process and store chemicals, oil, beer and hundreds of other products.  Boilermakers may help erect and repair air pollution abatement equipment, blast furnaces, water treatment plants, storage and process tanks, and smokestacks.  Boilermakers also install refractory brick and other heat-resistant materials in fireboxes or pressure vessels.  Some install and maintain the huge pipes used in dams to send water to and from hydro-electric power generation turbines.

​

The Boilermakers are skilled in reading and interpreting drawings in the manufacturing process of various metal based components. The artisan must have good welding skills and understand the way metal will respond when heat is applied to it by the type of welding being applied; the understanding of malleability of steel is of the highest importance. The artisan must have good working knowledge of rollers bending machines welders and grinders as well as measuring equipment and methods.
