CONSULTING

  1. Development of a technique based on Acoustic Emission to observe the formation of certain defects during the welding process, SONATRACH (Algerian Oil Company), 1986.

  2. Involvement in Certifying International NDT Companies working in Algeria, from 1985- 1987.

  3. Development of an Ultrasonic Inspection Technique for Saudi Bechtel Company (SABCO) to be used by VETCO; an International NDT Company ; to test the base-weld section of light poles in the King Fahd International Airport April -June 1990.( through KFUPM/RI). In addition, I have inspected VETCO on site for a period of a week. Once VETCO had finished the testing, I checked their DATA and certified the tests.

  4. Elaboration of an Ultrasonic Testing Procedure of Transformer casing for the Saudi Transformers Company at Dammam, may 1991 ( through KFUPM/RI).

  5. Trained a dozen of NDT personnel for BECHTEL Algeria, (Hassi R’Mel), in UT level I, Level II, and finally in Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) on the Weldsonix system REVOLUTION (Summer 2002).
