Is it okay to arrange the pipe supports in this way?
Thread Content
In a plant area, it can be seen that many pipes are supported by guardrails. Is this acceptable? Looking around, there were quite a few similar situations. It was done during various technical modifications, adjustments, and repairs after the installation started operating; perhaps it was to save costs?
There are none in the surrounding area. It seems that the reason is, first, to save costs; and second, after the technical upgrades, it’s difficult to find suitable support points in some areas, so the cost of carrying out such work alone would be too high~~~ Just a guess
This is not in compliance with standards and is not a professional lifting bracket; it can cause wear and resonance on the pipes and installation platforms, which is extremely unsafe
I think the same way; it seems a bit irresponsible no matter how you look at it. Due to a lack of knowledge regarding the relevant regulations, I can’t provide any convincing evidence, and those who do this hold certain positions of authority
What was done is inappropriate. Reason for existence: 1. Designed by a small design firm, without undergoing review ； 2. Added on-site in haste without design ； 3. Construction was not carried out in accordance with the drawings, and on-site management was lax
It needs to be designed properly; as can be seen from the pictures, the corrosion at the site is severe, and anti-corrosion measures are required
There was no formal design at all; what existed were modifications made according to the requirements of the manufacturing process, as well as additional repair devices added, and temporary solutions devised to address various issues
Corrosion protection on site is indeed a problem, as clearly shown in the image. The workers have not received proper training in corrosion prevention techniques; they did not carry out rust removal or cleaning, and simply painted over the rusty areas. It doesn’t take long before the area loses its corrosion protection again. Moreover, there are few operators for the equipment, and they are very reluctant to carry out anti-corrosion work on site
Judging from the photos, this pipeline was outsourced to a private party or handled internally by the company’s maintenance department. Not even the simplest paint has been applied, and the welding skills are not good.
You’re an expert! These problems will be visible right away. A team that doesn’t pay attention to standards will not do well in anything; over time, the entire setup becomes like a junkyard.:
That definitely won’t work; a special support is necessary
