Year in Review The Annual Review is an opportunity for The Welding Institute to reflect on its status, achievements and values. With many of our members gaining professional recognition and progression through the Individual Route to registration, reflection is a key element of our processes, in both our peer review of Engineering Technicians, Incorporated Engineers, and Chartered Engineers, and in our strategic planning and operational delivery of Institute objectives.
Eur Ing Chris Eady CEng MRAeS FWeldI Associate Director of TWI

Reflection is a backward-looking activity that analyses past experience and evaluates it against current and future needs. The Welding Institute’s recognition of experiential learning, through the assessment of a portfolio of work-related evidence and personal reflective statements, has become an increasingly popular route to professional recognition. The Institute’s willingness to embrace informal and non-formal learning as valuable progression pathways leads many other institutions, and its success has been entirely due to the knowledge, commitment and effort of our volunteers involved in the Membership, Education and Registration Committee, acting as mentors, and performing the portfolio assessments and Professional Review Interviews. The Welding Institute has long recognised the importance of competent technicians to materials joining and structural integrity, and has supported employer and customer requirements for competence assurance and compliance with standards through the combined benefits of CSWIP role-specific certification and Engineering Technician registration. In the year when the status of technicians and their importance to industry was emphasised by the UK Government with the Trailblazer Apprenticeship initiative, The Welding Institute was a significant contributor to the development of Apprenticeship standards for welders and welding inspectors, whilst continuing to grow its Engineering Technician register and showcasing technician skills through its support of the SkillWeld and Construction Metalwork competitions.
In the same way that a visit to The Welding Institute confirms that materials joining and structural integrity are exciting and progressive areas of technology, a visitor will also recognise that The Welding Institute is not an outdated institution; the integration of professional recognition with advanced technology development, high status education and training, expert engineering consultancy, and internationally accredited certification under one roof is far removed from oak-panelled rooms with winged leather armchairs. Hosting numerous meetings, technical tours, events, and webinars throughout the year has enabled our members to access the wealth of information available in the library, online and, most importantly, generated from the expertise of our technical experts for resolution of industrial challenges and for their own continuing professional development. The progressive nature of The Welding Institute is matched by the enthusiasm of our members for progress in our services and processes. The simplification and clarification of the professional member grades was a major development in the progressive journey of The Welding Institute, the enormous success of which could only be achieved with the full support of our members. Reflecting on the year reveals your professional engineering institution, The Welding Institute, as growing its relevance, influence and importance to the application of materials joining and structural integrity.

The President The crowning glory of 2014 for me was the honour of being chosen to become the president of The Welding Institute. This privilege came for me after serving four years as chairman of the council, and nine years as non-executive director for this world-leading organisation in engineering, materials and joining technologies. It is indeed impressive to observe the continuous growth of TWI’s business, and its high profitability. The £43 million Granta Park site redevelopment project, built in part to house the National Structural Integrity Research Centre, will become an important vehicle and centre for research and education, to the benefit of all TWI members. It is also encouraging to see the positive growth of membership in the Professional division, which is a valuable network for decision-makers, engineers and other individuals concerned with welding engineering.
Bertil Pekkari Hon FWeldl President of The Welding Institute

Thank you to each and every one of our members for continuing to support The Welding Institute’s work.
Review of Membership Grades Change is often an emotive subject, which can be welcomed or sometimes objected to; it can excite those who see new opportunities, or threaten those who prefer the status quo. I would like to think that the recent review and re-grading exercise within The Welding Institute was a positive process that has moved the Institute to a stronger position for growth in the 21st century. The need for change was clear: to remedy the apparent confusion surrounding the professional grades and the lack of identity of those members of the Welding and Joining Society. The confusion was caused by two membership groupings within the institute, one being Member and Fellow, the other Incorporated Member and Senior Member. The latter pair of titles were intended to recognise a certain amount of welding expertise. Member could only progress to Fellow and Incorporated Member to Senior Member. A senior engineer looking in from outside often considered himself at a point in his life to be able to join as a Senior Member, only to be informed he wasn’t eligible and could only join as Member. This was seen as a barrier to membership growth. In effect, industry found it difficult to reconcile the Institute’s grades with those of other institutions. Eur Ing David Howarth CEng FWeldI Chairman of Professional Board
It was therefore decided to embark on a period of change. The Welding and Joining Society was closed, and its members made Associate Members of The Welding Institute. Secondly, the professional levels of membership of the Institute were simplified to three grades: Fellow, Member and Technician. Finally, after a number of years, this process of change is complete, and a new-look Welding Institute is moving forward under the guidance of TWI’s Professional Affairs Group. It is remarkably showing a growth in the number of Engineering Council registrants, despite the trend of decline in other major institutes. Congratulations to them for their achievements.

Professional Members and Colleagues It gives me great pleasure to report to you our excellent progress from 2014, a year in which we once again drove forward in terms of both our status within the Engineering Council’s ranking and the services we provide to our professional members. The Professional Affairs Group at TWI reported that in 2014 our institution achieved the secondlargest increase in new registrants within our category, whilst concurrently seeing a demographic shift towards new members below the age of 50. This was not observed within other professional engineering institutions and is testament to the efforts of all concerned. Such recognition only serves to endorse the importance of the specialised engineering competency we promote in supporting our manufacturing sector, and highlights the importance of professional engineering development. Professor Steve Jones PhD CEng FWeldI Chairman of the Membership, Education and Registration Committee
In terms of the support we provide to our intended and existing professional members, we successfully reduced the turnaround time for those applying via the standard route from typically nine months to less than six. We also streamlined the support of applicants through the non-standard (experiential) route via the introduction of core skills alignment between assessor and applicant, along with improved communication links and guidelines. This success would of course not have been possible without the support of our industrial and academic volunteer network and TWI’s Professional Affairs Group. This has allowed us to continue to evolve and embed our novel ideas and to standardise assessment practices, improving our services to our members and maintaining a consistently high standard of professional competency. The successes realised in 2014 place our industry and institution in a healthy state for the future, but we cannot be complacent, and we must maintain our evangelical drive for more competent practitioners. Only by infusing a professional and conscious competency into all that we do will our members and our institute prevail in raising the profile of our importance to the manufacturing sector.

Accreditation Back in 2013, the Engineering Council awarded The Welding Institute an accreditation licence. This appointment gave us the authority to review engineering degree programmes to judge whether or not they meet a number of standards defined by the Engineering Council. Accredited engineering degrees offer students, their parents and advisors, and employers assurance that the education gained through the programme meets the standards determined and demanded by the engineering profession. Engineering employers as well as academics are involved in setting standards, reviewing degrees and deciding whether or not to confer accredited degree status. Through involvement in this process, employers can ensure that accredited degree programmes provide students with underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills that will set them in good stead for eventual professional registration. Lois Appleyard AWeldI MInstLM MCMI Professional and Membership Accreditation Manager
In 2014 The Welding Institute accredited its first two courses: Cranfield’s Welding Engineering and Advanced Materials MSc programmes, both of which were approved as CEng Further Learning. These two degrees are now listed on the Engineering Council’s accredited courses database, along with other programmes that have gained accreditation. This ground-breaking development is the Institute’s first step towards providing accredited standard route pathways all the way from school leaver to welding or structural integrity engineer.

Branch Report I am very honoured to have chaired the 2014 Branch Management Committee of The Welding Institute, which represents all of the branches here in the UK and overseas. I would like to pay tribute to all of the 277 voluntary members of these branch committees, who organise excellent programmes, and the members and their guests who attend the lectures. These are excellently presented by many guest speakers from various organisations from across industry, academia and the welding manufacturers. Their support is invaluable. The Branch Management Committee meets twice a year and many very important topics are discussed and actioned. Much of the business carried out by the committee concerns improving membership benefits for our members, all of whom are very important. In addition to this, a great deal of work and publicity is required to promote The Welding Institute to schools, colleges, universities, learning training centres and other institutions, through welding with chocolate workshops and other demonstrations.
Colin Galbraith AWeldI Chairman of the Branch Management Committee
New global and Middle East branches formed in 2014, which will be supported as and when required, just as the UK branches are, by the Branch Management Committee and the rest of The Welding Institute. I am pleased to inform you that the number of people attending lectures has increased at some branches, and new ideas are being tried at other branches where attendance levels have decreased, probably due to the reduction in manufacturers in particular areas of the country. New membership categories have been approved and implemented, our excellent technical group lectures are very successful, and numbers attending events have increased. The largest attendance on record was achieved at John Marlow’s technical group meeting last year. Young members are doing well at Cambridge, and a new strategy document has been published and sent to the branches in the UK which will hopefully provide some assistance and encouragement to young members’ representatives at other branches. Member benefits are extremely important and, looking ahead, more emphasis is required by TWI Cambridge and other satellite offices including branch committees, technical
10
groups and the Younger Members’ Committee to continually inform the membership of what these benefits are. We must also encourage an increase in the number of women in our membership. In terms of improving methods of communication used by the Institute, we should consider webinars or online video conferencing. The Welding Institute 2014 Annual Conference in Aberdeen was popular and well supported by registrants from many countries. This conference was professionally arranged by our colleagues at Cambridge and myself, along with many others from around the country. The speakers provided magnificent lectures which are sure to encourage attendance at future conferences. I would also like to thank Mr Dave Ellis, who for many years organised these conferences. This was the first year he was not involved directly, although his advice and encouragement to event organiser Professor Sayee Raghunathan and me was much appreciated. I would like to conclude by once again paying tribute to the many unpaid volunteers in the branch committees, technical groups, the Younger Members’ Committee and the staff in Cambridge, who year in, year out commit their free time, energy and expertise to provide our members with their local programmes. Local support is of course extremely important, and members are encouraged to be proactive in informing their branch representatives of the topics they would like to see covered by branch lectures.
11
Technical Group Activities The year 2014 brought two significant landmarks for the technical groups. The first saw the Pressure and Process Plant Technical Group hold a meeting at TWI in Rotherham on ‘Welding of Pipelines for Sour Service’ which attracted 94 attendees – a record. Chairman John Marlow obviously chose the right topic. David Ellis CEng FWeldI Technical Group Coordinator
The second concerns Dr Peter Boothby, Macaw Engineering Ltd, chairman of the Materials Technical Group, who is to be congratulated for serving over 20 years as chairman of this group. Discussions were held in respect of creating a replacement for the Advanced Structures Technical Group. It was decided that a new group entitled Manufacturing will be formed in 2015 under the chairmanship of Dan Thompson, WFEL Ltd, which will include manufacturing of advanced structures when necessary. Thanks are due to all chairmen and secretaries for their efforts in making 2014 a successful year for all the technical groups. Special appreciation should also be given to all the speakers who gave sterling service in supporting the technical groups, and without whom they would not be able to function.
12
Education Outreach The year of 2014 was another successful period of education outreach for the Institute. We were able to reach thousands of schoolchildren and young adults through a variety of events, promoting the interesting, exciting and rewarding careers that are available in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). We continued our focus on showcasing welding and joining, encouraging young people to consider the career opportunities that are available working with these technologies. The events we organised over the course of the year included welding with chocolate workshops at primary schools, material selection and offshore structures workshops for sixth formers, manning stands at college career events to promote careers in welding and joining, and attendance at various STEM fairs (regional and national). A number of these were repeat visits to schools and colleges, on the back of successful events held in 2013.
Matt Haslett Chairman of the Younger Members’ Committee
Thank you to all the volunteers that helped organise and run these events – it wouldn’t have been possible without your support. I hope that we can build on what we were able to achieve in 2014 and reach even more young people during 2015.

Institute of Rail Welding The Institute of Rail Welding (IoRW) is a technical body specifically focused on rail welding; it is a subsidiary of The Welding Institute. The 15 years since IoRW was established have seen many changes across the rail industry, and many challenges have been faced in that time. Rail steel has a pearlitic microstructure and commonly used grades have a nominal hardness of 260 HB. Rail crossings are typically castings made from 11–14% austenitic manganese steels, also known as Hadfield Steel. These compositions present major challenges in terms of weldability and as we move towards greater use of 400-grade rail steel, these challenges are likely to increase yet further. The Institute of Rail Welding offers members technical meetings, regular newsletters, website access and job knowledge articles, all dealing with the challenges presented by rail welding. Although rail welding is continually developing, current typically employed processes include aluminothermic, SMAW, FCAW and flash butt welding.
Eur Ing Bob Sawdon CEng FWeldI Vice Chairman IoRW
14
Rail breaks (which include rail weld breaks) have reduced from 952 in 2000 to just 98 in 2014. Much of the network has been re-railed in this period and the move to heavier rail profiles and harder-grade rail steels is significant in this, but nonetheless it is widely believed that the dissemination of technical information, the focus on training and competency and the overall professional approach promulgated by IoRW has had a major influence on the ongoing improvements in safety, reliability and customer satisfaction within the national rail network.
Apprenticeships Building on work initiated in 2014, the government has now approved two new apprenticeship standards developed by a group of companies including The Welding Institute. The official approval of the two standards is the culmination of a year’s work by the Welding Apprenticeship Employer Group, a consortium of employers, skills councils, professional bodies and trade organisations that has developed the new standards to improve and homogenise the quality of welding training for apprentices. The group was formed to develop new standards under the government’s trailblazer initiative, which seeks to transform apprenticeships in the UK by giving employers and relevant trade organisations the power to determine their content. The initiative has provided an opportunity to harmonise the current, fragmented provision and to develop a single uniform set of apprenticeship standards for welding that can address competence issues across a range of sectors. The need for competence in welding is critical for compliance with a number of key European standards and directives, and international standards for manufacture and construction. Each standard contains a description of the role profile; the requirements in terms of theoretical knowledge, practical skills and behaviours; entry requirements; duration; and progression beyond completion of the apprenticeship. The standards offer flexibility in terms of welding processes, parent materials and welding positions, so that employers can select only those modules that are relevant to their products. A practical skill test, in accordance with a recognised standard such as ISO 9606, is an integral part of both standards. Tim Jessop, associate director of The Welding Institute and coordinator of the welding apprenticeship trailblazer, said: ‘The approval of these standards represents a major step forward in the recognition of welding as a key skill for the UK and in ensuring that UK welding apprenticeships match the best in the world.’
