Haladjian Mobile Equipment: Welding Training and Certifications in West Africa
Haladjian Mobile Equipment is proud to announce the launch of a welding training sessions in West Africa. As part of our ongoing commitment to support local industries, we are offering training sessions aimed at enhancing skills in the maintenance and repair of mining equipment.
The Importance of Welding Quality
In the field of manufacturing and construction, the quality of welds is crucial to ensure the strength, safety, and durability of structures and finished products. Welding qualification is the essential process that ensures welds meet the highest standards and specific project requirements.
Understanding Welding Qualification
Welding qualification is much more than a formality. It is a complex process involving several critical steps, from material selection to documenting the results.
What is Welding Qualification?
Welding qualification involves assessing the ability of a welder, a welding method, and equipment to produce welds that conform to specific criteria. These criteria may include industry standards, customer specifications, or regulatory requirements.
Standards and Regulations
To ensure compliance and quality of welds, various standards and regulations are established in the industry. These standards provide precise guidelines on qualification methods, tests to be performed, and criteria to be met for accurate welding qualification. There are many of them (position, material, welding process, thickness).
Training Program
This time, our program had place in Dakar, Senegal, and consists of two distinct sessions, each with two training booths. Here is an overview of the program:
1 day of preparation: Participants prepare their own piece cutting, grinding, chamfer tack weld …
2 days of intensive training: Participants practice the skills they have acquired under the supervision of experienced trainers.
2.5 days of certification: Participants undergo a rigorous certification process, with a total of 12 certifications obtained by each participant.
Certifications and Qualifications
Certifications are issued by the prestigious Bureau Veritas, ensuring international recognition of the skills acquired. Participants will be qualified for maintenance and repairs of mining equipment, including work on buckets and blades.
12 certificates have been obtained per technician.
Welding Techniques
Participants will be trained in 4 main welding processes:
111 – basic coated electrode E7018-H4 or E7018-1H4 for SMAW process licence.
136 – flux-cored wire with slag E71T1 for FCAW process licence.
135 – solid wire ER70S-6 for GMAW process licence.
138 – flux-cored wire (Metal cored) E70T15 for FCAW process licence.
In Conclusion: Welding Training, Qualifications and Certifications by Haladjian Mobile Equipment

Assesment to be sure than appropriated tooling will be available for the training. After workshop assessment each trainees will be asses to build in collaboration with the maintenance manager an individual training plan.
Our team of mining experts based in West Africa conducted the reconditioning of the stick of a 6020b caterpillar hydraulic shovel. Our mining rebuild program provided in this case a great illustration of its efficiency. The job took place in the pit of one of our West African clients‘where the mining equipment was of some importance to the pit’s productivity.
At the pit, our team of skilled technicians dismounted and removed the stick out of the pit to spend some time on it. First, our job consisted in cutting off the plates to do an internal inspection of the 6020b stick. After a carefully conducted inspection, we repaired the mining shovel component by giving back to it the aspect of a brand-new hydraulic shovel stick. More about our mining equipment repair.
Our mining welding experts specially trained to work on ground engaging tools pieces did a great job. The goal of this operation and the others to come is to reinforce the resistance of any mining wear part after years of services. Because to control expenses and minimize downtime, it is advised to continually explore all options to get the most out of heavy mining equipment. Our vision is that because a single mining component is failing, it does not mean that the entire piece of equipment has come to the end of its work-life.
As you can see, the 6020b stick was ready to go back and rejoin its hydraulic shovel for the best of our client’s business. Our mining rebuild program provided to our client the best service possible. Haladjian Mining is a mining company specialized in providing wear parts and mechanical parts to the mining industry while we have also developed services of mining welding, mining rebuilds and mechanics for mining equipment. We have a solution to any of your mining production problematics.

Today is International Women’s Day! The Haladjian Group highlights a few women working within the company. Discover below the interview of Beatriz T., the Procurement Manager of the Haladjian Mining department.
Beatriz, could you please describe your study background and career experience in a few words?
“After graduating from high school, I entered the Faculty of Law in Madrid (Spain). I studied three years and then I decided to put my university studies on hold to live with my family in Jakarta (Indonesia) for three years. When I returned, I resumed my studies for two years and obtained my Law degree. When I arrived in France, I went to the University of Avignon to learn French. As my Law degree gave me the right to open a Real Estate Agency in France, I decided to follow a real estate negotiator training at the CCIA (Avignon Chamber of Commerce and Industry). But I left for Paris to follow my husband, so I abandoned this project. I lived in Paris for 5 years where I got my first job in a Purchase Department as a Buyer in a company specialized in industrial lightning. Then, I left this job to go to Renault in Clamart. After 5 years in Paris, we decided to come back to the South of France, where I started working for Haladjian in March 2006, on an information system migration project. Today, I have been working within the company for 16 years, first as a Key user and then as a Procurement Manager.”
What position are you in today? Can you describe it to us briefly? What do you like about your job?
I am responsible for the parts flow of one of the main Haladjian suppliers. The biggest difficulty of my job is to have the parts arriving at the right time trying not to overload the stock. I have a double hat, because I also manage the supply flow to feed our subsidiaries in Africa, Senegal, Burkina Faso and soon the Ivory Coast. What I like in my job is the challenge to obtain a balance between the goods flow to guarantee the best customer service rate and, at the same time, to keep a moderate stock level to avoid a strong financial immobilization.”
How do you feel about working in a male environment? Did you have to impose yourself or did you find your place naturally?
“Unfortunately, we are not at all on an equal footing with our male colleagues. This is more pronounced in the south, where being a woman and a foreigner did not make my job any easier. I was able to impose myself through the rigor and seriousness of my work by demonstrating factually that the company could trust me.”
How do you manage your role as a mother and your professional career on a day-to-day basis?
“The most complicated time to manage my family and professional life was the 5 years I spent in Paris, where I had my two young children, and we were very far from our families. But between my husband, other moms and day care we got through it.”
What advice would you give to young women who are about to enter the professional world?
“This quote sums up very well what I would like to advise young women: “The accomplished human being is the one who has the strength and the courage to change what he can change, the serenity to accept what he cannot change, the wisdom to make the difference between the two””
A big thank you to Beatriz for this interview, for the time she took answering these few questions and for her kind words to young ladies!
A first meeting was organized by the WA Epiroc dealers in Bamako – Mali. Two members of the West Africa Haladjian team were there – Olivier MARTY and Sébastien RIQUE.
