Rotating Equipment Putting Theory into Practice

Share the experience of one of the worlds largest engineering companies

Practical workshop training on centrifugal pump rotor in support of classroom tuition.

Practical tuition on mechanical seals and non Weir pump equipment.

Courses tailored to address global customers specific needs are provided at any location of the clients choice. Suitable locations include one of our growing network of more than 30 service centres world wide or at a clients facility. Our main training centre is located within one of our largest service centres in Alloa close to historic Stirling, Scotland UK. It is equipped with a modern air conditioned lecture theatre and adjoining training workshop. Weir facilities in Alloa comprise a large engineering workshop facility and major testing facility. Delegates have the advantage of being able to work with rotating equipment components directly which greatly enhances the practical and theoretical content of the course. Courses focus on rotating equipment with particular emphasis on Centrifugal Pump and

Compressor Drive Trains; Positive Displacement Pumpsets, Valves, Pulsation Dampers, Electric Motors, Diesel Engines and Steam Turbines; associated equipment and systems. Course tutors are experienced industry experts; both chartered engineers and workshop professionals drawn from senior ranks of Weir engineering and service personnel. The CVs of our training staff are available on request.
