Discover how to design flexible, safe, and cost-efficient pipe racks for petrochemical plants. Learn key considerations for materials, fabrication, and future expansions.

EPC contractors play a crucial role in specifying steel supports for large petrochemical equipment. This article explores the step-by-step process, including load requirement determination, material selection, fabrication quality control, and the importance of detailed installation practices. By ensuring each phase is carefully managed, contractors prevent costly mistakes and ensure the project's success.

This article highlights common design mistakes in petrochemical equipment support structures, including overlooking real operating loads, inadequate corrosion protection, and poor maintenance access. Learn how to avoid these mistakes to ensure safety, reliability, and cost-efficiency in your designs.

Reactor support steel structures must safely carry heavy loads, thermal movement, and long-term operational stresses. Effective design requires accurate load analysis, proper material selection, robust connection detailing, allowance for thermal expansion, precision fabrication, strict quality control, and durable corrosion protection to ensure safety, reliability, and long service life in petrochemical and energy projects.

Designing steel support platforms for large industrial equipment requires accurate load analysis, smart material and connection choices, modular planning, and strict compliance. Based on real project experience from engineering teams such as Meichen Steel Structure, this guide explains how thoughtful design decisions reduce risk, control cost, and ensure long-term operational reliability.

Heavy equipment support frames in refineries often fail due to hidden loads that are overlooked during design. This article explains how vertical, dynamic, process, environmental, and future-change loads impact long-term structural performance—and how experienced EPC teams design frames that remain safe, flexible, and reliable over decades of operation.
