An intensive, practical 2-day workshop presented by
Shane Rutherford
CPEng RPEQ
Shane has an extensive mechanical engineering background, having worked in diverse
industry sectors including farming, shipping, heavy construction, sugar milling, mining, bulk
handling and engineering services.
He has served in the Royal Australian Navy and worked for a number of businesses in
capacities as diverse as engineering trades, professional engineering and management.
Shane is trade qualified in fitting and machining, and diesel mechanics. He has operator
certification in naval auxiliary machinery and is professionally qualified as a Mechanical
Engineer. Shane has also attained recognition as a Chartered Professional Engineer and is
registered on the National and Queensland Professional Engineers Registers.
Formerly a Manager of Metlabs Queensland Branch for Leighton Ltd and a Business Unit
Manager for PearlStreet Ltd, Shane now operates his own business consulting and service
providing to clients across Australia.
Shane has extensive hands-on experience in mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic systems
and has specialised in reliability engineering, lubrication, lubricants and machine condition
assessment.
The workshop
This workshop on hydraulics and pneumatics will enhance your knowledge of the fundamentals,
improve your maintenance programs and help you become an excellent troubleshooter of the
problems in this area. No matter what hydraulics or pneumatics applications you are working
on, and what the level of your knowledge, the workshop will be highly beneficial to you.
The practical hydraulics and pneumatics workshop is a comprehensive, highly practical and
interactive workshop. You will have an opportunity to discuss construction of hydraulic and
pneumatic systems, design-applications, and learn operations, maintenance and management
issues. You will be provided with the most up-to-date information and best practice in dealing
with the subject.
Pre-requisites
This is not an advanced workshop but one focusing on the fundamentals so knowledge of
basic mechanical plant and operation thereof and some exposure to hydraulic and pneumatic
systems would be helpful but is not essential. Pre-course reading will be provided for you if you
have no knowledge whatsoever.
The fee for each workshop covers all materials
including workshop manual, lunches
and refreshments
On-Site Training
All IDC Technologies training workshops are
available on an on-site basis, presented at
the venue of your choice, saving delegates
travel time and expenses, thus providing
your company with even greater savings.
