This week: HUSUM Wind Energy 2012 - SLV Duisburg will be there!

The Schweißtechnische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Duisburg (SLV Duisburg) is the largest of eight subsidiaries of GSI - Gesellschaft für Schweißtechnik International mbH. GSI was founded in 1999 with the intention to bundle SLV’s professional knowledge and wide experience of many years in a competence centre for welding and testing technique as well as corrosion protection technology. The company unites under its roof another four cooperating establishments in Germany and several subsidiaries abroad.

The priorities of SLV Duisburg lie particularly in the area of training, and this includes further training. Its portfolio also contains supplier assessments (suppliers audits / certifications in accordance with the EN 1090 standards and GSI 2944 guidelines) of production monitoring, together with test engineering and damage appraisal. This is made perfect with the possibility to undertake underwater activities, e.g. in the areas of welding training or assessment.

For the wind energy sector not only welding supervisors (e.g. welding engineers) were trained but also the welders themselves. For this purpose special in-house seminars were offered tailored to the product range at customers’ request. In addition, testers were trained as well as thermic injection personnel and coating inspectors. There are also demand-oriented seminars for construction engineers.

Future tasks are clearly in the area of training offshore personnel e.g. underwater welders, corrosion protection workers as well as coating inspectors in their monitoring and supervisory roles.

SLV Duisburg is looking forward to welcome you to HUSUM Wind Energy 2012, hall 3, booth G 11
