We have this pumps installed acording to API, but I am afraid the drains shown in the picture attached will break with the pumps vibration, any suggestions?

You need to have an "open drain"! This is where you place a drain hub (usually a reducer large end up) where it sticks above grade about 3" to 6". Then you direct your drain connections to be positioned about 2" to 3" above the "hub". So all you have to do is crack the valves at these locations, the discharge is then directed into the hub and then down in the drain header.
