3Rotating Equipment Putting Theory into Practice

Share the experience of one of the worlds largest

engineering companies

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

Practical tuition on

mechanical seals and non

Weir pump equipment.

Practical workshop training on

centrifugal pump rotor in

support of classroom tuition.
