Achieving satisfactory performance in welded connections, involves proper connection design, the specification of weld details, fabrication and quality assurance.

In New Zealand and Australia, steel structures designed to NZS 3404 or AS/NZS 5100.6 are required to be fabricated and erected in accordance with AS/NZS 5131 Structural steelwork – Fabrication and erection. This standard makes references to a number of welding-related standards such as AS/NZS 1554 series that are also applicable for applications such as: trailer manufacturing, marine and boatbuilding, maintenance etc.

Engineers are responsible for designing, assessment and maintenance of welded structures require knowledge in welding technology and inspection techniques.To ensure that the welded steel component or structural steelwork is fit-for-purpose, the engineers need to be familiar with the key aspects of quality management in welding fabrication including:

  • welding procedures
  • weldability of materials
  • applicable standards
  • weld inspection, and
  • quality as well as roles and responsibilities of parties involved (design, fabrication, inspection).


This Webinar Series is aimed at introducing the essential aspects of welding technology to professional engineers. It is especially relevant to designers and engineers whose roles include design of steel structures, construction review and the management of steelwork compliance inspection, in-service inspection, management of welding contractors and other relevant welding related tasks.

The Webinar Series will be based on the following standards framework: NZS 3404; AS/NZS 5131; AS/NZS 1554 Part 1, AS/NZS ISO 3834, AS/NZS ISO 17637; AS/NZS 9606.1; and AS/NZS 2980.

The Webinars will be presented by HERA’s welding experts and will include a 45 min long presentation followed by a Q&A session.
All prices include GST.

He served an apprenticeship in a Heavy Engineering workshop before 10 years working on a major Petro-chemical plant. He was Safety Manager/Engineer at a milk processing facility for 10yrs before 20yrs as a Welding Specialist/Technical Manager for a multi-national welding supply company before a period as a trainer for a safety training company.

Michail Karpenko | HERA GM Welding Centre

Michail, an IIW International Welding Engineer, is a member of the Standards New Zealand and Standards Australia Committees including WD-003 “Welding”. He was involved in the revision and updating of welding standards such as AS/NZS 1554, AS/NZS ISO 3834, DR ISO 17607, AS/NZS 5131. He is a lead auditor for the Steel Fabricator Certification (SFC) Scheme and was actively involved in its establishment.

Conn Roux | HERA Senior Welding Engineer

As a Senior Welding Engineer at HERA, Conn brings more than 15 years of experience working on large-scale operations in the power generation, petrochemical, and industrial sectors, alongside a strong background in research and development. His role is broad – from delivering training and providing technical support, to maintaining quality systems through audits and knowledge transfer, and contributing to research and guideline development.

Ozgur Erdem | HERA Senior Welding Engineer

Ozgur has worked extensively on the delivery of industrial plant projects globally in many roles at different levels in the fabrication and construction of boilers, reactors, pressure vessels, structural steels and piping systems of oil & gas, nuclear and thermal power (CCGT and coal fired) plants in Turkiye, Russia, Albania, Libya and Iraq. He was a lecturer of welding inspection courses at international training organisations in Europe, North Africa, Middle East, Central Asia and South America

Hafez Taheri | HERA Lead Research Engineer

Hafez is a structural engineer with over 6 years’ research experience in assessment and evaluation of structural components, structural systems and welds. During his PhD studies, Hafez focused on investigating the potential solutions to address deficiencies in both stainless and normal carbon steel welded moment connections in seismic regions. Conducting experimental tests and finite element analysis to delve into this, as well as exploring research interests in weld sizing for structural steel connections, fatigue analysis in welded connections and structural design and analysis.
