Pipe Rack Design & Structural Support for Industrial Teams | BrickBolt

Pipe Rack Design & Structural Support

The Challenge

Pipe racks are critical infrastructure on oil & gas, power, and industrial projects—and they demand precision under tight timelines. Fabricators, contractors, and EPCs often need fast structural design and coordination support without adding permanent engineering resources. Complex load cases, thermal expansion, and multi-code compliance multiply the complexity.

Our Solution

BrickBolt specializes in complete pipe rack design and coordination support for industrial teams. We deliver:

• Structural Design & Analysis – Complete pipe rack layout, member sizing, connection design following codes
• Multi-Load Case Analysis – Design loads, thermal expansion, wind, seismic, installation, and transient conditions
• Clash-Free Coordination – Integration with equipment layouts and utility runs
• Fast Turnaround – Accelerate your design schedule without compromise
• Multi-Code Delivery – AISC, Eurocodes, IBC, Indian standards, and sector-specific codes

What We Design

• Pipe racks & trestles – structural frames supporting process piping
• Cable tray & conduit systems – electrical and instrument routing supports
• Equipment platforms – maintenance access and operational work levels
• Vessel supports – foundations and anchor frames for pressure equipment
• Material handling structures – conveyors, hoppers, and support systems
• Thermal expansion analysis – systems designed for temperature variation

Industries & Experience

• Oil & Gas – onshore/offshore platforms, processing facilities, refineries
• Power Generation – turbine foundations, cooling systems, ash handling
• Steel & Metal Processing – furnace structures, crane systems, support frames
• Pharma & Chemical – reactor supports, distillation column structures
• Material Handling – silos, hoppers, conveyor supports, bucket elevators

Design Standards & Codes

• AISC 360 (American Institute of Steel Construction)
• Eurocodes (EN 1990-1999)
• IBC (International Building Code)
• Indian Standards (IS 800, IS 875, IS 1893)
• Sector-Specific: API, ASME, PIP, DNV, ABS

Our Process

1. Project Scope – Understand load cases, codes, geometry, and timeline
2. Structural Analysis – FEA modelling, load combinations, member sizing
3. Connection Design – Bolted and welded connections, shop drawing prep
4. Coordination – Integration with equipment, utilities, and other trades
5. Shop Drawing Support – Coordination with fabricator, field modifications
