Compressor stations and their pipe yards are technological complexes that are loaded by dynamic loading during their operation. The result of such loading can be fatigue failure of structural member or whole system with serious consequences. One possibility of decreasing disadvantageous dynamic loading and increasing of lifespan is using vibroinsulation elements. The lifespan of structure is intimately connected to critical locations as pipe joints realized by welds. Residual lifespan is expressed on the basis of data gained by experiments according to appropriate standards.
