Pipe Sleepers

Pipe sleepers are a type of support used in the construction of pipelines. They are typically made from concrete, steel, or plastic and are used to support the weight of the pipeline and any equipment that may be attached to it. Piping Support using pipe sleepers is a critical activity done in conjunction with Pipe Stress Analysis and also is very crucial during the transportation of large quantity of pipes.

TecRadon provides Pipe Sleeepers properly and adequately supported to avoid pipe structural failures. Many types of supports are employed in a typical process plant to take care of various stresses and strains developed in a piping system due to weight, operating conditions, earthquake and wind. Pipe sleepers, or pipe cradles or chocks, are a simple and cost-effective solution for securing and transporting large-diameter pipes. They consist of two steel plates welded together with angles that fit the pipe diameter. The plates provide a wide and secure base for the pipe to rest on, which prevents rolling or movement during transport.

One of the biggest advantages of pipe sleepers is that they take up less space. This makes them ideal for projects where storage space is limited. They are also lightweight and easy to handle, making loading and unloading pipes easy. However, they may need to be more apposite for uneven or rocky terrain as they require a level ground. The sleepers comprise the grade-level supporting structure for piping between equipment for facilities, e.g., tank farm or other remote areas.

They are designed to give the piping shortest possible run and to provide clear head rooms over main walkways, secondary walkways and platforms. They are manufactured with high-strength steel or reinforced concrete and are resistant to salt and corrosive environments. The four main functions of Pipe Supports & Sleepers are to anchor, guide, absorb shock, and support specified loads from a wide variety of pipeline sizes and weights with no more corrosion or decay problems.
