🚀 A Historic Milestone for the Global Non-Metallic Industry
Today marks the official launch of the world's first AWS HDPE Inspector Training Program under the newly established AWS International Non-Metallic Qualification Framework.
We are proud to welcome the first group of participants from Saudi Aramco to this pioneering program, delivered by Elite Engineering, an AWS Authorized Provider and an approved training provider by Saudi Aramco Non-Metallic CSD.
This achievement represents far more than a training course. It is the beginning of a new global qualification pathway for professionals working with High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) piping systems and a significant step toward establishing international competency standards for the non-metallic industry.
Key Highlights:
✅ First AWS HDPE Inspector program delivered globally
✅ First candidates pursuing the AWS HDPE Inspector qualification
✅ Participants representing Saudi Aramco operating facilities
✅ AWS-issued training certificates with recognized Professional Development Hours (PDHs)
✅ International certification examination leading to the AWS HDPE Inspector credential
Upon successful completion of the certification examination, participants will become among the first AWS Authorized HDPE Inspectors in the world.
This milestone would not have been possible without the vision, support, and collaboration of:
* American Welding Society (AWS)
* Saudi Aramco Non-Metallic CSD
* Elite Engineering
Together, we are helping shape the future of non-metallic piping systems by improving quality, reliability, safety, and long-term asset performance across the energy and infrastructure sectors.
Congratulations to all participants, and we wish them every success on their certification journey.
