Competition among welders
September 1st 2009 The initial round of the ShipWeld
2009 competition, which welding
and cutting specialist, ESAB Group
is sponsoring, was held at BVT
Surface Fleet, Clyde's Operations
Skills Development Centre in Govan.
It aims to provide welding craft
competitions for apprentices in
keeping with their shipyard training
requirements and to encourage
young second-year trainee-welders to
develop their skills in a competitive
environment.
The competition is split into two
levels, the first being the Internal
Ship Yard competitions, where
entrants face a series of challenges
using MIG/MAG and MMA techniques.
Winner and runner-up go on to the
next level.
From the two shipyards (Scotstoun
and Govan) that entered the
competition at Govan, Daniel
Collins was the winner, while Stuart
McLeod came second and Russell
Phipps scooped the third award. More articles from ESAB Group UK Limited: |
