Training

Whilst hardware issues are fundamental to the effective operation of a facility, Weir Services also recognises that people are also key to the successful operation of plant.

Weir Power and Industrial operate a Customer Training Department, who are leading providers of Rotating Equipment Technology, Operation and Maintenance Training. Here, theory translates into practice; teaching skills which will improve reliability and availability and reduce operating costs.

Lecturers are experienced industry experts, both chartered engineers and workshop professionals.

The training courses can be held at the clients premises or in our custom built training centre equipped with modern air-conditioned lecture rooms and adjoining workshops.

The objectives of the courses are to enable Engineers and Operators to;

• Understand the practical and theoretical principles of Rotating Equipment Design, selection, construction, operation and maintenance.
• Achieve “Know How – Know Why” understanding of rotating plant
• Access a training course with a track record of experience in rotating equipment manufacture.
• Location; client’s facility or custom Training Centre.
