Page Content

Pipeline and cable tray supports in factory buildings ensure safe, organized, and efficient routing of pipes and cables, using modular racks, hangers, brackets, and floor or wall-mounted systems.

Pipeline Supports

Pre-engineered modular pipe racks are commonly used to support multiple pipelines in industrial facilities, including factories, chemical plants, and power plants. These structures are designed to carry utility piping, instrument lines, and sometimes cable trays or mounted equipment over obstacles or along process units . Key features include:

  • Materials: Typically constructed from galvanized steel or aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance .
  • Design: Consists of transverse bents connected with longitudinal struts, spaced at uniform intervals (commonly around 20 feet) to support the weight of pipes and fluids .
  • Applications: Suitable for transporting liquids such as water, chemicals, or energy products, and can also support mechanical equipment or valve platforms .
  • Installation: Prefabricated modular racks allow for quick, low-impact installation and reduce on-site engineering time .

Cable Tray Supports

Cable tray support systems are essential for organizing and securing electrical and communication cables in factory buildings. Proper support prevents sagging, reduces hazards, and allows easy maintenance . Common types include:

  • Hanger Supports: Suspended from ceilings, ideal for limited floor space and adjustable for height .
  • Wall-Mounted Supports: Attach trays to walls, commonly used in industrial corridors or data centers .
  • Floor-Mounted Brackets: Used when ceiling or wall mounting is not feasible, suitable for large industrial areas .
  • Unistrut Systems: Flexible and strong, can be installed from ceiling, wall, or floor, supporting both horizontal and vertical runs .
  • Vertical Supports: Maintain organization for cables running between floors in multi-story buildings .

Installation Guidelines

  • Support Spacing: Horizontal cable trays should be supported at intervals not exceeding 20 feet, with additional supports near expansion joints or fittings .
  • Load Considerations: Choose supports capable of handling the weight and volume of cables, including future expansion .
  • Material Selection: Steel, fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP), or wire mesh trays are selected based on load, environment, and corrosion resistance .
  • Safety and Accessibility: Properly supported trays reduce electrical hazards and allow easy access for maintenance or upgrades .

Summary

For factory buildings, pipeline supports typically use modular steel or aluminum racks to carry pipes and sometimes cable trays, while cable tray supports employ hangers, wall mounts, floor brackets, or Unistrut systems to organize and secure cables. Both systems require careful planning for spacing, load capacity, and material selection to ensure safety, durability, and efficient maintenance .
