International Association of Geosynthetics Installers Announces HDPE Welding Certification

The IAGI Certification Program recognizes individuals who have hands-on skills, knowledge and experience in the welding and installation of polyethelene (PE) geomembranes. The certification program’s goal is to promote the professionalism of the industry. Certification encourages generally acceptable installation methods and it provides a reward to individuals who have developed a certain level of expertise and professionalism. This program will be helpful to those regulators and engineers on job sites who want to verify that the installation personnel working on their jobs are qualified to do the work.
We have completed the Pilot Test for the Certification Program. At this point, we are scoring the test to determine our first group of IAGI Certified Welding Technicians. The test is also being reviewed and a few minor adjustments are being made to the written and hands on portion of the test. Please be sure to read the Industry News in the next GFR to find out who are the IAGI Certified Welding Technicians.
If you would like further information on the IAGI Certification Program, would like to take the certification test or would like to be a registered proctor of the test please contact Beth Landen, IAGI Managing Director via phone at 651.225.6952 or via e-mail at melanden@ifai.com.
