Courses TR-steel - TR-steel/E

TR-steel/E for erection of simple prefabricated steel structures

The course TR-stål/E comprising min. 24 class hours is intended for supervisors, inspectors and others who require documented competence for supervision, inspection, quality control at erection of simple prefabricated steel structures. The course may also be of interest to those who need a survey of regulations and rules particularly related to site work with steel structures.

By simple steel structures is understood work with the following limitations:

Erection involves prefabricated structural steel components delivered to the site complete with surface protection

The steel components shall be accompanied by documentation of inspection and testing as specified by relevant regulations and rules

Structures in Workmanship class GC

Corrosiveness class C1, C2 or C3

Bolted connection class S1

Welding on site, if any, may only be performed in Safety class 1

The course corresponds to requirements on knowledge about technical regulations and rules for a person responsible for direction, inspection and control of normal steel structures according to the regulations and rules in PBL, BKR and BSK 07 and SBS Certification Rules.

The courses TR-steel have been planned under the guidance of a committee with representatives of the Swedish National Railway Board, the Organization of Building Contractors in Sweden, the Swedish Association of Inspectors at Local Authorities, MVR, SBS, structural steel contractors, the Swedish Institute of Steel Construction, StBK Stalbyggnadskontroll and the Swedish National Highway Board.

Required Previous Experience

Course participant should have some previous experience of steel structures.

Participants
