Testimonials & Impact
Development of Alberta’s energy resources remains the most significant
driver of the provincial economy.
To remain competitive, innovative
materials and fabrication methodologies are now being incorporated into
industry standards and best-practices. These changes bring enhancements
directly to shop floor productivity and translate to cost mitigation in major
project execution and maintenance & operations processes.
The industry is changing and [AMFI] allows your organization to keep pace with
current trends and international competition.
Gain awareness of evolving welding engineering practices, technologies and applications
[AMFI] can be taken by your entire workforce, from the president’s office to the shop floor:

“ The most valuable part of the workshop was the hands on putting into practice some of what was talked about in
the session “ Sam Williams, Collins Industries
“Excellent content that is going to be very effective in creating a competitive advantage for our company.” Andrew
White, Manufacturing Engineer, Silent-Aire Systems
“Thanks for promoting new and future technology to take us into the next generation of fabrication.” Robert
Edwards, Welder, Alberta Flares
“This course was what I was looking for and expected to see. The new technology would be a great asset to our
company. The background knowledge on metallurgy and welding has expanded my knowledge.” Jarret Cleland
Plains Fabrication, Structural Forman.
