Learning about the Lemoore City Water Treatment Tank Explosion in June 2021 will be beneficial for any Professional Engineer that designs, plans, or executes engineering services. As a Project Engineer, Project Lead, or Designer, you may be asked to participate in projects that either have above-ground storage tanks or work that is adjacent to above-ground storage tanks. As this course will demonstrate in great detail, even a city water tank can explode during hot-work.

Professional Engineers gain a lot from reviewing past incidents. These lessons sharpen their skills like steel sharpens steel. Learning from past incidents from others is far less painful than relearning them on your own. This course provides the terminology, definitions, and knowledge the Professional Engineer requires to avoid these same mistakes. Further, you will be made aware of hot-work, LoTo, and other related pitfalls and limitations.

General incident learning courses are more appealing to Professional Engineers, and not necessarily in the field the course is educating you about. They provide broad-based knowledge, definitions, and vocabulary to expand your knowledge without major time investments and lengthy internet research. If you ever wanted to know more about preventative measures for hot-work-related tank explosions, then choose this course.
