Basic training - construction machinery (1F – pipe layer)

A pipe layer belongs to group 1F and is used to lay pipeline into a trench. It may be operated only by someone who has gone through education and training.

We go through the construction and the controls of the pipe layer, the load chart and the way lifting capacity depends on reach, the counterweight and the stability of the machine, hooking and guiding the pipe, work at the edge of an excavation and the load bearing capacity of the ground, the cooperation of several machines when laying long pipeline, working with the slinger and the agreed signalling, and the check before the start of a shift.

The course ends with a written test. After that we issue a written certificate of completed education and training under Section 16(1)(b) of Act No. 124/2006 Coll.

The course is open to a person from 18 years of age who has completed compulsory basic schooling and holds a medical report on fitness for work that is not older than six months. Without a driving licence we issue a certificate limited to the workplace.

The certificate has to be kept valid. The familiarisation is repeated at least once every three years under Section 7(5) of Act No. 124/2006 Coll., and updating professional training every five years under Section 16(8). You can take both with us; the course Refresher training, construction machinery serves for that.

Anyone who hooks and slings the pipe needs a slinger's licence card for it. With several machines the course for the whole first group works out cheaper.

We train under Slovak regulations, which derive from Directive 2009/104/EC on the use of work equipment, valid throughout the European Union. In our experience the certificate is commonly recognised in the other member states.

Additional information will be added later.
