A practical method to improve power plant Reliability and Safety is through effective and meaningful pipe support inspections.
Enhance Station safety
Avoid untimely failures
Control undesirable stress levels
Maintain proper pitch and drainage
The term "Pipe Support" may be applied to a basic structural shape utilized to suspend or support a segment of piping. On the other end of the spectrum, the term may be used to describe a complex assembly involving the use of springs, levers, and a number of precise components. Depending upon the load and temperature of the suspended equipment, the support can have a significant impact on the overall safe and continued reliability of the equipment.
The benefit of these inspections applies not only to the integrity of the supports, but that of the suspended and connected equipment as well.
Over the past twenty years, our engineers have performed thousands of inspection and related activities on both a regular and emergency basis.
