Engineered steel restraint supporting a large industrial process pipe
Products / Pipe support systems

Order from the catalogue,or commission the design.

Four standard support lines available to order against your service conditions, and a PE-sealed engineering practice for everything the catalogue does not cover. Both carry a Texas professional engineer's seal. Both can be delivered under your brand.

Shelf 01

Order from the catalogue.

Select the line, send us the service conditions, and an engineer returns a quoted selection. Configurations, sizes, and options are handled in the request. Once the item is selected, our fabrication alliances put the right shop behind it.

Shelf 02

Commission the design.

Custom engineered supports

For what the standard lines do not cover

Custom design for the support no catalogue carries. Sustained load, thermal movement, dynamic and seismic restraint, and pressure-thrust containment, analyzed and stamped for your specific application. Delivered under your brand.

Why buy it this way

The certification step comes out of your schedule, not just your budget.

Lead time is the buying trigger. Selecting an already-analyzed, already-sealed solution removes weeks of design, analysis, and certification from the critical path.

01

A standing asset

Engineered and sealed before your project started. Select from it rather than opening a design cycle.

02

One point of accountability

Selection, application review, and the seal come from the same firm that answers the phone.

03

Analyzed for the combined case

Dead load, thermal cycling, dynamic and seismic response, and pressure thrust, not one load at a time.

04

White-label ready

Delivered under your brand, for your client, where the commercial arrangement calls for it.

Pressure thrust

What happens when an expansion joint lets go.

Unrestrained, pressure thrust pulls the pipeline ends apart. Anchors distort, pipe bends, seals blow out, and the failure propagates down the rack.

Restraint is a design and engineering problem, which is why every selection is reviewed against its application.

01 · NORMAL OPERATION 02 · THE RELEASE THRUST = P × A 03 · UNRESTRAINED RESTRAINED · PE-SEALED 04 · RESTRAINED
Unrestrained, pressure thrust pulls the expansion joint apart and the failure propagates down the rack. Restrained and PE-sealed, the same forces are held.
Load case

A support resists more than weight.

DEAD LOAD THERMAL EXPANSION DYNAMIC / SEISMIC PRESSURE THRUST
FEA-VALIDATED FOR ALL FOUR

Dead load, thermal movement, dynamic events, and pressure thrust act through the same support system. The standard has to be validated for the combined service, not selected against one load at a time.

The standard is visible in the steel.

Weld geometry, load path, restraint, and attachment details are resolved before fabrication, so the delivered support matches the analyzed condition.

How it works

How it works.

01

Send the service conditions

Loads, movements, temperatures, and layout. A support list or marked-up isometric is ideal.

02

Selection

We match the application to the appropriate catalogue item or existing sealed solution.

03

Application review

We confirm the selection against the project load case and installation details.

04

Fabricated and delivered

Once the selection is made we place it with a fabricator from our alliance network, delivered under your brand if required.
