Preloaded Bolted Connections: Recent Lessons Learned (online event)

What will the event cover?

Welding is generally considered to be a highly technical process requiring expert input from inception to execution.  Bolting is often regarded as a less technical activity, but a lack of understanding or poor execution can lead to expensive and time-consuming reworks.  

What will you learn? 

This presentation hopes to emphasise that bolting should be executed properly and using 2 case studies will give attendees an insight into some of the possible pitfalls.  It is hoped that the attendees will gain an understanding of the principle of preloaded connections and their execution, thing to avoid, and details to be aware of.
