SCHOOL OF WELDING & FABRICATION TECHNOLOGY

WELCOME TO GATEWAY INDUSTRIAL & PETRO-GAS INSTITUTE (GIPI), ONI, OGUN WATERSIDE LGA, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA.

Gateway Industrial & Petro-Gas Institute (GIPI) Oni offers Welding & Fabrication Technology as a course extensively both in Professional Diploma (PD) and National Diploma (ND).

WELDING AND FABRICATION TECHNOLOGY

The aim of welding skill training at the Gateway Industrial & Petro-Gas Institute is to teach the welding techniques and manipulative skills required for major welding processes. Welding technique is stressed above welding theory-as the trainees must be able to meet the welding performance demands of industry. Consequently, a minimum amount of course time (20%-30%) is spent on classroom lectures/discussions. The remaining time is used for supervised welding practice. The training program is tailored along the Nigeria Institute of Welding (NIW) and International Institute of Welding (IIW) standard. IIW was established to define guidelines for the education, training, qualification and certification of personnel involved in welding and NIW was empowered by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation through Directive No.9 to conduct all certification programmes in all welding activities in line with Nigerian Content Directives of the NNPC in Nigeria.

In order to meet the demand of the industries, the Institute has structured its welding training programme in line with the guidelines for International Welding Training Programme in the following welding and quality control techniques:

SMAW- Shielded Metal Arc Welding

GTAW- Gas-Tungsten Arc Welding

GMAW- Gas-Metal Arc Welding

NDT- Non Destructive Test

Corrosion Control and coating

An additional technique called the Oxyfuel/Oxyacetylene gas cutting is also included in our welding programme to cater for maintenance welding and cutting. We also offer training in welding metallurgy, codes, inspection, drafting and weld design.
