Presenter: John Tonkin
2020 sees John’s 50th year in engineering. Initially he had exposure to plant maintenance (steam, water, pneumatics, ash handling, boilers, turbines and pumping systems) and marine steam plant.A number of years in the selling, commissioning and trouble shooting of pumping systems…More
Aimed at Engineers, Technicians and Senior Foremen, the course aims to equip delegates with the knowledge and skills necessary to:
