Industrial Pipe Racks & Trestles
Industrial pipe racks and trestles are critical steel structural frameworks designed to elevate, support, and route complex networks of process piping, electrical cable trays, and utility lines across industrial facilities. Featuring modular column bents, longitudinal tie beams, and integral maintenance walkways, these structures ensure heavy load safety, long-term anti-corrosion durability, and easy future multi-tier expansion.
Engineered with rigid column bents and heavy transverse beams capable of supporting high static liquid weight, dynamic fluid hammer, and thermal pipe thrusts.
Multi-level framing design safely segregates flammable liquids, high-pressure steam, hazardous gas pipes, and electrical/instrumentation cable trays.
Protected by high-film hot-dip galvanizing or C5-M marine/chemical-grade epoxy coatings to withstand acid rain, salt spray, and harsh industrial vapors.
Equipped with steel grating walkways, safety handrails, and cage ladders for safe, convenient daily valve operation, pipe inspection, and maintenance.
- High-Strength Structural Steel: Primary columns and transverse load-bearing beams are fabricated from heavy-wall rolled or welded H-sections (Q355B/C), ensuring high flexural rigidity.
- Advanced Coating Systems: Hot-dip galvanizing conforming to ISO 1461 (zinc thickness 85μm – 120μm) or multi-coat epoxy primer with polyurethane topcoat systems for chemical atmosphere resistance.
- Compliance with Industrial Standards: Designed and manufactured in strict compliance with AISC 360, PIP STC01015 (Pipe Rack Design Guide), and EN 1090 execution specifications.
- Petrochemical & Oil Refineries: Main backbone pipe racks carrying crude oil, refined fuels, ethylene, and high-pressure steam utility lines.
- Chemical & Fertilizer Plants: Corrosion-resistant secondary pipe support bridges across processing units and storage tank farms.
- Power Generation & Thermal Facilities: High-clearance trestles supporting boiler feed-water, steam turbines, and cooling water circulating pipes.
- Inter-Plant Cross-Road Trestles: Elevated long-span trestle bridges crossing plant internal roadways and railway tracks without obstructing ground logistics.
- Fast Field Bolt-Assembly: High-precision factory cutting, drilling, and trial assembly ensure 100% bolted field connections, eliminating site welding risks in explosive chemical zones.
- High Thermal Surge & Seismic Resistance: Optimized longitudinal bracing systems absorb pipe thermal expansion friction forces and multi-directional seismic forces effectively.
- Future Expansion Capacity: Columns and foundations are pre-engineered with extra margin to allow adding upper-tier levels or side cantilevers as plant capacity grows.
- Pipe Shoe Friction Allowance: Ensure cross beam top flanges account for pipe shoe sliding friction or install low-friction PTFE/stainless steel wear plates at anchor points.
- Anchor Bolt Hole Precision: Maintain strict foundation anchor bolt group position tolerances to guarantee smooth column baseplate seating during erection.
- On-Site Touch-Up Painting: Repair any transport scratches or bolt-tightening marks using zinc-rich primer or matching topcoats to ensure uncompromised anti-corrosion integrity.
