“Our primary aim is to help engineers to develop the necessary knowledge, skills and confidence to be able to dramatically reduce the risk of pipework vibration related incidents both onshore and offshore”
Many serious pipe vibration issues can be easily detected using simple vibration screening techniques. If undetected, excessive vibration can result in fatigue cracks at welds resulting in pipe fracture and leakage.
In industries dealing with hazardous liquids or gases, such fractures could lead to serious incidents involving major injury, fire, explosion or pollution.
Skills necessary to perform vital risk assessment surveys on business and safety critical pipework and associated small bore connections (SBCs) can be learnt by investing in a few days training.
All VibTech training is live and instructor led. No pre-recorded videos

Making Arrangements
The majority of VibTech courses are bespoke courses for individual companies and are attended by engineers from that company.
Consequently, to arrange a training course it is normally best to forward this information to your manager and/or training department who will be able to consider training requirements for a wider group of engineers
In order to provide a quotation for pipework vibration online training, typically the following information is needed:
- Which (how many) of the VibTech courses/modules are you most interested in?
- Contact details for course organiser?
- Number of participants?
- Preferred / approximate dates for the course

Standard Course Selection
VibTech offers 2 Standard courses covering a comprehensive range of popular training modules.
Pipework Vibration Level 1 – Basic
The Basic course will provide a detailed introduction into the subject of pipework vibration to raise the knowledge, skills and confidence of engineers to be able to perform their own pipework vibration assessments and problem solving.
Pipework Vibration Level 2 – Advanced
Building on the knowledge from the Basic course, the Advanced course will provide a deeper understanding of the causes of pipework vibration through the application of ‘Quantitative Assessment’ methods and supported by worked examples and real-life case studies of common corrective actions.
| Course Package | Length | |
|---|---|---|
| Pipework Vibration Level 1 – Basic | 2 Days | More Info |
| Pipework Vibration Level 2 – Advanced | 2 Days | More Info |
Bespoke Training Course (for organisations)
In addition to the Standard courses, VibTech offers a bespoke solution where clients can tailor their own courses by selecting the required training sessions.
VibTech has developed a suite of 10 training sessions covering all aspects of pipework vibration, including the causes of vibration-induced fatigue damage, assessment methods, and problem solving.
The 10 sessions are made up from over 36 individual training Modules covering all aspects of the subject of Pipework Vibration compliance and the avoidance of vibration induced fatigue failures.
Companies wishing to arrange training for their staff can select all required sessions from the full list of online training sessions.
