Exothermic welding is a critical method used in earthing and bonding systems, requiring precision, consistency, and a strong understanding of safety. LPINZ training provides both the knowledge and practical skills needed to perform reliable, high-quality welds in real-world environments.
Why it’s important
Incorrect or poorly executed exothermic welds can compromise the integrity of grounding systems, leading to performance issues or safety risks.
Proper training ensures:
- Consistent, high-quality connections
- Improved safety during installation
- Compliance with industry standards
- Confidence when working in critical infrastructure environments
How it’s used
LPINZ delivers a combination of theoretical learning and hands-on training to ensure participants understand both the “why” and the “how.”
Training typically includes:
- Understanding the principles of exothermic welding
- Safety procedures and best practices
- Demonstrations using industry-standard equipment
- Practical, supervised welding exercises
Training can be delivered at your premises for team-based or site-specific needs, or at the LPINZ training facility in a controlled environment.
LPINZ capability
LPINZ provides structured training programmes led by experienced engineers and certified trainers.
Programmes are designed for:
