Training and Certification 

 

Injection, Repair and Protection Certification

All BCS senior staff and applicators must obtain Injection, Repair and Protection (IRP) Certification through an independent training authority at the BZB (Bildungszentren des Baugewerbes – Academy for the Construction Industry) in Germany.

 

This international qualification proves competence in the injection, repair and protection of concrete and reinforced concrete structures. The course incorporates best practice methodologies and the latest developments in the building chemicals market. It also provides an advanced level of knowledge and training. IRP Certification is recognised as the European benchmark.

 

More than 80 percent of our staff are IRP Certified and this ensures all projects are completed by qualified professionals.

IRP Course Details

The IRP Course is based on the German standard for repairing and refurbishing concrete and reinforced concrete structures. It includes both a practical and a written examination and is conducted in Malaysia / Singapore (stage one; to facilitate the Asia-Pacific region) and Germany (stage two). The course covers building materials and related properties, health and safety measures for safely managing chemicals, substrate preparation and protection, filling of cracks and voids, polymer-modified mortars, grouting, fiber-sheet wrapping and other topics.

Applicator Training

Regular and intensive training is provided for all Building Chemical Supplies (BCS) applicators to ensure our products are used correctly. In-house and overseas training in Malaysia and Germany supports the applicators in their approach to each project.

 

Our national network of IRP Certified technicians enables BCS to provide practical solutions, not just products, for the construction industry.

 

The successful completion of IRP II enables the applicator to use a full range of products including multi-component materials and all resins.
