1 TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION

2 TRAINING CERTIFI Welcome to the isoplus training centre! At the isoplus training centre, the further education of district heating employees is in safe hands. Problems that occur in pre-insulated district heating pipelines can often be attributed to a lack of training on the part of the fitter or supervisor. This is why the right training is an important aspect of quality assurance in the work performed in the district heating industry. In this way, correct installation is ensured and the risk of future problems is minimised. At the isoplus training centre we arrange regular courses on the installation and quality assurance of pre-insulated piping systems as well as joint installation. See the course overview below or the detailed course programmes in this brochure. JOINT INSTALLATION SUPERVISION DESIGN Materials and components knowledge Installation instructions Installation and measurement of alarm wires Knowledge of tools and special equipment Quality assurance Correct handling of joint foam Materials and product knowledge Surveillance systems Correct handling of products Winter precautions Design rules Overview of which EN norms apply to pre-insulated piping systems for district heating Demonstration of joint installation Which control points supervisors should be aware of Product specifications Overview of which EN norms apply to pre-insulated piping systems for district heating Overview of installation rules Heat loss calculations Technical advantages of the different product types Surveillance systems Can be held either at isoplus or at the client's own premises Purpose After the completion of the course, the participant is certified in the installation of isoplus joints and/or installation branches. Purpose After the completion of the course, the participant is able to supervise district heating projects with regard to installation, engineering, statics and surveillance system. Purpose After the completion of the course, the participant is able to design using the isoplus catalogue and choose the optimal system with regard to piping types, sizes and insulation categories. Detailed course programmes for installation, supervision and design can be found on the following pages

8 OUR CUSTOMERS SAY HIGH QUALITY TRAINING AT JOINT COURSES INSPIRATION AND NEW ENERGY I attend isoplus joint courses every two to three years, and we get the latest updates on various joint types, weldable joints, shrink joints, etc. We learn about the various qualities, and about the importance of good cleaning practice as well as which products are suited to which situations. The courses are very good. Information is explained in a way that everyone can understand, and the educational material is easy to follow. I can only recommend the course. Although I'm now an operations assistant and work with another aspect of the business, I will continue to utilise the courses to keep up with developments in the field. Johnny Johansen Operations assistant Vallensbæk District Heating PRECISELY CUSTOMISED TO OUR NEEDS We took a course in connection with a large-scale development process we were about to undertake in Rødovre. The goal was to develop some fresh perspectives on which direction we were going to take for example, in relation to single piping or twin piping and insulation category. We were very impressed with the course, which was very good and well organised. isoplus had put together a highly qualified and customised course on the basis of the information we had sent in advance. Following discussions about the type of pipes, insulation categories, purchase price, construction costs, operating expenses, etc. the course helped us identify the technically and economically optimal solution for our project. When you have two people away on a full-day course from 6 AM to 6 PM, the benefits have to match. Which they absolutely did. We both had smiles on our faces when we drove home. Ole Michael Hansen, civil engineer Development project manager Rødovre Council District Heating Supply Once a year four or five of us take a design course with isoplus, where we get input regarding calculations, design, managing of materials and more. In addition to the professional benefits and excellent working tips, we learn about the latest developments on the market and where the industry is headed. We feel that it is important to stay updated and not get stuck in old habits. The payoff we get can be concrete, such as when we learned that we could establish expansion zones of sand around the piping instead of using foam pads and thus save on materials and benefit the environment. We wouldn't have come across that information so quickly if we hadn't taken the course. Some of us take courses on joints, welding, supervision and more, so we are frequent users of the isoplus course programme. What we learn is applicable, goaloriented and rewarding and we always come back with tons of new inspiration and energy. Business Partner USA: Biomass Systems Supply P.O.
