Boiler Making and Welding – International School of Engineering, Science and Technology

Program Overview

The manufacturing of high-pressure storage tanks, industrial boilers, processing vessels, and structural piping networks forms the foundation of heavy industry. The Boilermaking and Welding program at ISEST/YIBS is a practical, engineering-focused discipline designed to train master fabricators, structural welders, and heavy-equipment technicians who can manipulate heavy metal plates and profiles into high-precision, pressure-resistant systems.

This program bridges the gap between structural geometry and metallurgical science. Enrolling at the HND level and progressing to a B.Tech, students train extensively inside heavy-duty fabrication yards equipped with professional multi-process welding power sources, hydraulic plate rollers, and oxy-fuel cutting systems. They master the art of geometric pattern development, read complex technical blueprints, and practice precision welding to meet international engineering codes. Graduates emerge as high-demand technical specialists ready to deploy infrastructure across the oil and gas, food processing, mining, and maritime construction sectors.

Main Objectives

To teach the structural and chemical properties of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, focusing on how they respond to extreme thermal transformation.
To build complete technical mastery in reading, interpreting, and drafting industrial fabrication blueprints, welding symbols, and structural design sheets.
To develop expert proficiency in flat-surface geometric development to accurately layout, mark, and cut complex metal plates before assembly.
To train students across all core industrial welding processes, including SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), GMAW (MIG/MAG), and GTAW (TIG).
To equip graduates with non-destructive testing (NDT) methodologies to inspect weld integrity, maintain strict safety tolerances, and ensure compliance with pressure vessel codes.

Skills Acquired

Geometric Pattern Development: Transforming complex 3D shapes (such as cones, intersections, and transition pieces) into flat layout templates on heavy steel sheets.
Multi-Process Production Welding: Depositing code-compliant, structurally sound welds on carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum across all structural positions.
Heavy Plate Manipulation: Safely operating industrial workshop machinery, including hydraulic shears, bending brakes, section rollers, and plasma cutters.
Industrial Pipefitting & Joinery: Measuring, beveling, aligning, and tack-welding high-pressure pipe spools and processing manifolds.
Weld Quality Inspection: Implementing non-destructive testing (NDT) protocols, including dye-penetrant testing and magnetic particle inspection, to identify internal faults.
Rigging & Heavy Material Handling: Sizing lifting gear, calculating center of gravity parameters, and managing safe rigging procedures for heavy metallic components.
