Effective blasting practices workshop for GASCO
Did you know your blasting performance can be improved by applying a set of effective blasting practices in your surface preparation projects?
In October last year, a team of blasters and supervisors from Abu Dhabi Gas Industries (GASCO) attended the ‘Effective Blasting Practices’ workshop run by GMA Middle East to learn more about the different cleaning techniques and best practices.
GMA trainer Ajay Thanki guided the participants on how to:
- Select the right abrasive and equipment;
- the crucial blasting parameters and their effects on surface cleanliness;
- and the types of surface profiles and safety.
In addition, every participant received a certificate of attendance by GMA at the end of the workshop.
The workshop held in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi was made possible by GASCO as the company believes in the benefits of training and enhancing the knowledge of their team of blasters and supervisors. Moreover, GMA has also supported Health & Safety campaigns by GASCO and its sister companies last year.
“The GASCO team provided the positive feedback that the training was useful to enable proper and efficient use of their resources. The company looks forward to more training opportunities with GMA in the future,“ Ajay Thanki said.
