Pipe Support Engineering

Techso Engineering provides complete pipe support engineering services, including sizing, design, and verification of pipe supports for industrial plants, ensuring structural integrity, operational safety, and full compliance with international standards.

Pipe supports are critical components of any piping system. Their proper design is essential to safely transfer loads to the supporting structure, while allowing controlled thermal expansion, preventing excessive stresses, and protecting connected equipment.

Our engineering approach ensures that each support is designed to meet mechanical, structural, and operational requirements.

Complete Pipe Support Design and Sizing

We perform full engineering and sizing of all types of pipe supports, including:

Rigid supports
Spring supports (variable and constant)
Guides and line stops
Anchors
Sliding supports
Pipe shoes and trunnions
Special and custom supports

Each support is designed to withstand all relevant load conditions, including:

Pipe weight (including insulation and contents)
Thermal expansion loads
Wind and seismic loads
Dynamic loads and vibration
Occasional and accidental loads

Integration with Stress Analysis

Pipe support sizing is directly integrated with piping stress analysis to ensure full system compatibility.

Based on stress analysis results, we determine:

Optimal support locations
Support loads and reactions
Required support types and stiffness
Spring support travel and load settings

Structural Verification and Detail Design

Each support is structurally verified according to applicable standards, ensuring safe load transfer to supporting structures such as:

Steel structures
Pipe racks
Equipment frames
Concrete structures

We provide detailed engineering including:

Structural calculations
Fabrication drawings
Welding specifications
Bill of materials

Custom Support Design

For complex applications, Techso Engineering develops custom-designed supports for:

High-temperature piping
Heavy process lines
Flare systems
Critical equipment connections
Modular skid systems
