Join us in Broken Arrow this March and September for an unparalleled training exp erience. Over the course of four days\, attendees will receive comprehensi ve instruction in electrofusion\, butt fusion and fusion operations. Parti cipants can earn qualifications in both small and medium diameter butt fus ion as well as electrofusion (EF 1and EF 2). These sessions are offered à la carte to suit your needs.\nDetails\nThis training week is intended for municipal staff\, contractors and consulting engineering firms. This fusi on training week is hosted by the PE Alliance and sponsored by our friends at Milford\, Integrity and the fusion experts at McElroy. Milford has pro vided funds to offset the cost of this training. Scholarships are also ava ilable for those in need. Contact Peter Dyke @ pdyke@pepipe.org.\nLight br eakfast &\; Lunch served each day.\n\n\n\nTraining Sessions\nCourse Len gth\nMon\nTue\nWed\nThu\n\n\n\n\nButt Fusion - Small Diameter\n10 hours\n √\n√\n \;\n \;\n\n\nButt Fusion - Medium Diameter\n14 hours\n& nbsp\;\n \;\n√\n√\n\n\nElectrofusion Level 1 (EF 1)\n8 hours\n√\ n√\n \;\n√\n\n\nElectrofusion Level 2 (EF 2)\n8 hours\n \;\n √\n√\n \;\n\n\nFusion Ops and Pipeline Integrity Seminar\n2 Days\n  \;\n \;\n√\n√\n\n\n\nSchedule\nMonday\, March 3rd 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM\n\n Butt fusion - small diameter\n EF Day 1 - small Day 1 of 2\n \nTuesday\, March 4th 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM\n\n Butt fusion - small diameter\ n EF Day 2 - small complete\, medium dia. start\n\nWednesday\, March 5th 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM\n\n Fusion Ops and Pipeline Integrity Seminar - Day 1 o f 2\n Butt fusion - Medium Diameter\n EF - medium diameter complete\n\nT hursday\, March 6th 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM\n\n Fusion Ops and Pipeline Integri ty Seminar - Day 2 of 2\n Butt fusion - i series\n EF - small diameter\n Butt fusion - small diameter (repeat)\n\nAfter signing up you will recei ve an invoice within 7 days\n\nSessions Details\nButt fusion small diamete r \; (Obtain your fusion card)\n10 Hours - Begin Monday (March 3rd\, 2 025) Finishes Tuesday (March 4th\, 2025)\nCost: $500 normally $1100\nLearn the proper techniques for fusing pipe sizes from 1/2" CTS to 6" DIPS usin g McElroy's manual fusion machines.
