I have decades of experience in piping, gained through my work at a medium sized engineering firm, where I went through every stage from draughtsman to project leader.
After many years in that environment, I moved to a petrochemical company and worked as a Project Engineer. In that role, I was responsible for both new build and maintenance projects.
During those periods, I learned the ins and outs of piping from within, both in design and execution. Not only from the office, but also on site during construction. That experience is the reason I became involved as a lecturer in the Piping Design & Engineering programme, where I can share my knowledge and practical experience with the participants.
This piping course is above all a practical course, developed from real engineering practice.
The piping discipline has many interfaces with other disciplines, such as Process, Steel Structures, Civil, Instrumentation, Electrical and Stress. As a result, a great deal of communication is needed to make sure all disciplines are aligned. In addition to the theoretical background, each block of the course includes a practical assignment. These assignments address the interfaces with the other disciplines and introduce the fundamentals of project design and engineering.
As a participant, you learn to independently read a P&ID and translate it into a plot plan and piping plan. This is where the knowledge gained during the lessons is tested against real practice.
The designs for an installation are discussed together and checked against applicable codes and standards. This is a valuable and instructive process, in which participants work in small groups to create their own design and make joint decisions to bring that design to a good result. Working in small groups encourages collaboration and learning from one another, which is essential in any project.
Years of experience with this piping course have shown that there is often a gap between theory and practice. With the practical assignments in particular, we aim to bridge that gap.
For anyone who works with, or has interfaces with, this discipline, this course is a valuable way to broaden, deepen and connect theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
Do you have a mechanical background and a strong sense of creativity and spatial insight? Do you want to learn the discipline of piping design and engineering and work on complex piping systems within the petrochemical, chemical or oil and gas sector? Then Dosign Academy’s Piping Design & Engineering programme is the right step for your career. This practical programme gives you a solid foundation to start working as a piping engineer and introduces you to all key aspects of the discipline.

Technische tekeningen zijn misschien wel de belangrijkste informatiedragers in de techniek. Binnen de procestechniek wordt veel gebruik gemaakt van PFD’s (Process Flow Diagrammen) en de gedetailleerdere P&ID’s (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams). Het correct lezen en interpreteren van deze tekeningen is essentieel voor het succesvol uitvoeren van projecten in de procesindustrie. De Training Technisch Tekeninglezen van PFD’s en P&ID’s van Dosign Academy biedt jou de kennis en vaardigheden om deze tekeningen effectief te begrijpen en toe te passen in je werk.
Isometrische tekeningen worden gebruikt om leidingen en installaties ruimtelijk weer te geven in een plat vlak. Deze tekeningen, gebaseerd op de Amerikaanse projectie, geven een 3D-weergave van de installatie in 2D. Goede isometrische tekeningen moeten voldoen aan genormeerde specificaties (ISO/ISA). De training isometrisch tekenen van Dosign Academy biedt je de kennis om isometrische tekeningen correct te maken, lezen en interpreteren. Deze vaardigheden zijn essentieel voor het succesvol uitvoeren van projecten in de techniek en procesindustrie.
