Reliable Manufacturing® For Project and Construction Engineers
Equip engineers to embed reliability into capital projects — preventing the specification, assembly, and commissioning failures that cause most early breakdowns.
What this course is about
This hands-on course equips project and construction engineers with the practical tools to integrate reliability into every phase of capital projects. Nearly two-thirds of equipment failures occur shortly after startup — most caused by poor specification, improper assembly, inadequate QA/QC, or insufficient commissioning. This course addresses those risks directly, ensuring assets perform as expected from day one.
Key Topics Covered
Failure patterns, infant mortality, the four reliability strategies
2. Asset Condition Assessment Technologies
Vibration, ultrasound, infrared, oil analysis, acceptance criteria
3. Installation Best Practices
Base preparation, grouting, sole plates, pipe strain mitigation
4. Precision Alignment & Balance
Pre-alignment checks, laser alignment, plotting, balance standards
5. Assembly Errors & Belt Drives
Keyways, fits, eccentricity, belt installation, fastener techniques
6. Lubrication Principles
Selection, contamination control, cleanliness standards
7. Commissioning Excellence
Motors, pumps, hydraulics, fans, compressed air, documentation
Why This Training Matters
- Engineering Managers
- Leaders responsible for reliability initiatives
- Project and Construction Engineers

Upon successful completion, participants will be capable of:
• Understanding common failure modes and their relationship to project execution
• Preventing early-life failures through better design, installation, and commissioning
• Applying reliability strategies and technologies to assess machine condition
• Using vibration standards and acceptance criteria for project turnover
• Applying precision alignment, balance, lubrication, and base installation practices
• Identifying and correcting assembly errors before commissioning
• Developing effective commissioning procedures across mechanical systems
• Documenting and reporting reliability findings throughout project phases
From Tallahassee to Longview to Jacksonville, one thing stayed consistent — the tools and mindset I gained through Reliability Solutions helped me succeed at every step. They helped me bridge the gap between mechanical engineering and operational leadership. They're not just a vendor — they're a partner in performance.
In the brewing industry, consistency and uptime are everything. Reliability Solutions helped me transition from a technical expert to a real maintenance leader. The program gave me tools to build a team that takes pride in precision — not just fixing things when they break.
