03
Anchor Points & Loads — Assessment of anchor locations and resulting loads.
04
Support Loads & Movements — Calculation of support reactions and pipe movements.
05
Design Strategy Mark-ups — Clear drawings showing required supports, restraints, guides and anchors.
06
Firestop & Wall Penetrations — Assessment of pipe movement for appropriate fire sleeve and penetration design.
07
Equipment Nozzle Loads — Assessment of piping loads transferred to connected equipment.
08
Support Type Recommendations — Selection of suitable support arrangements based on system requirements.
09
Rigid Hangers — Engineering details for rigid hangers where the system is suspended.
10
Expansion Solutions — Optimisation of the piping system to minimise unnecessary expansion equipment where technically feasible.
Continuous Engineering Support
Continuous Engineering Support
Our service does not end with the analysis report. Our engineers remain available throughout the project to assist with technical queries, design changes and site-related issues whenever required.
Our Process
Four Steps to Make Your Piping System Code-Compliant and Ready for Sign-Off
A coordinated engineering process that takes your piping system from initial requirements through analysis, optimisation and approval-ready documentation.
02 Analyse & Identify
Carry out pipe stress analysis to identify critical loads, movements, support issues and system risks.
03 Optimise the Design
Refine piping arrangements, supports, restraints and anchor locations to improve system performance.
04 Documentation for Client’s Review
Prepare reports, marked-up drawings, material information and technical deliverables for review.
READY FOR TECHNICAL REVIEW
03 — Structural & FEA
Structural Analysis & FEA
Our Structures and FEA team delivers practical, efficient and standards-compliant structural solutions — from simple pipe support brackets to complex portal frames, equipment supports and bespoke steel assemblies for pipes, ducts, cable containment, mechanical equipment and building services.
Loading conditions considered include dead, imposed and gravity loads; pipe reactions from thermal expansion and pipe stress analysis; wind and seismic loads; equipment and operational loads; and project-specific environmental and accidental loads. We also provide connection design to Eurocode 3 (EN 1993) — bolted and welded connections, base plates, anchors, stiffeners and gusset plates — and use advanced FEA software to assess stress, deformation, stability and structural behaviour before fabrication.
