Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing a pipe receiving element for reducing vibration and/or movement of a pipe. The pipe receiving element includes a first pipe holding part, a second pipe holding part, securing means and/or additional securing means. Each pipe holding part includes at least one half- or semi circular surface part. The first and second pipe holding parts when fitted together are adapted to receive a pipe. The securing means are adapted to secure at least one pipe holding part of the pipe receiving element to another first and/or second pipe holding part. The additional securing means are adapted to secure a first holding part to a second pipe holding part. At least a part of the first and said second pipe holding part are made of elastic material. A pipe securing system is also described.
