International Operating Engineer - Spring 2018

Training & Education
a traditional classroom setting with
glass walls to reference the equipment
outside during their lessons.
The National Pipeline Training
Fund was one of the first programs to
utilize the new campus and will now
call it home for a majority of it’s classes.
They will offer Intermediate Sideboom,
Intermediate Excavator, Intermediate
Angle Dozer classes along with
HDD, Pipelifter, Hydro-Excavation,
Excavation class for Hotlines, and the
Pipe Bending Class. In the Past, the
NPTF conducted Advanced Training
from time to time. Now with most
of the program’s equipment in one
central location, the Advanced training
is going to be conducted on an annual
basis.
Stationary Engineers will have
hands-on training in real world
conditions in the physical plant. It
allows an entire system to go offline
for training while redundant systems
stay online, to service the facility.
There is plenty of room for trainees to
spread out and study equipment from
multiple angles and a viewing area
from the control room so students
can see changes being made while the
changes are happening out in the floor.
Another highlight is the mechanic’s
shop building. With so much
equipment on site, it is important
to have a state-of-the-art workshop
for training and maintenance of the
equipment. A few amenities include
a 10-ton overhead crane, welding
simulators, and computer numerical
control technology. The shop floor has
railroad tracks built on footings so the
heavy machines don’t crack the floor
when they come in for cleaning and
maintenance.
This campus was designed to
prepare IUOE members to meet the
changes in technology and equipment
in the construction and stationary
fields.
