Houston, TX (July 4, 2008) – Information Assets, Inc., completed its support of training of 150 piping designers in the Gulf Coast area, organized by the Society of Piping Engineers and Designers and Houston Community College. The training was funded by a $426,727 job-training grant from the Skills Development Fund that the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) administers. IAI provided classroom piping designer training on over 15 topics considered essential to piping design.
Training was guided by a consortium of 14 industry partners that locally employ piper designers. “The industry partners shaped the content of the training and the profile of the trainee,” said, Sterling Foote, HCCS Grant Director. “Without their support, this grant could not have been successful.” The fourteen partners were ABB Lummus (CBI), Aker Kvaerner, Bechtel, Demar, Ltd., Dow Chemical, Foster Wheeler, Gulf Interstate Engineering, J. Ray McDermott, Inc., Mustang Engineering, SBM IMODCO, SNC-Lavalin GDS, Technip USA Inc., Universal Ensco, Inc., and WorleyParsons Group, Inc.
