ENGINEERING, SUPPORT DESIGN

9.8 Engineering, support designBesides high quality requirements, it isessential in the planning of supports to

keep to tight schedules and economic tar-gets. At the same time, plant operatorskeep a consciously tight rein on the resour-ces required. To avoid thereby endangeringthe budgeting and logistics of entire projects,the planning arrangements are placed in thehands of suitable engineering firms (out-sourcing).

LISEGA has been a specialist for a long peri-od in the provision of the relevant facilitiesfor the execution of complex planning activi-ties. Highly qualified and experienced techni-cians and engineers are available at all LISEGAlocations. For the optimum fulfilment ofall customer requirements, the differentareas are equipped with the latest, most

sophisticated software. In internationallyoverlapping projects, and whenever required,the engineering sections at the various loca-tions work in close association.

Pipe supports for complete plant systemsincluding secondary steel are conceived,planned and drawn up according to projectrequirements. On the basis of the LISEGAmodular system and decades of experience,ready-to-install load chains from structuralattachment right through to pipe-surroundingcomponent are generated from stan-dard supports. The relevant internationaltechnical codes and standards as well as

particular customer requirements are thereby

Engineering in Zeven, Germany

systematically considered. For the designand dimensioning of both supports andsecondary steel, the relevant pipe system

calculation data as well as detailed plansof the piping layout and structural factorsare taken into account.

For the effective transfer of the supportarrangements into 2D or 3D models, and toguarantee the economical preparation ofdrawings, the most sophisticated software isapplied. In addition to our own speciallydeveloped material the following standardprograms are currently in use:

LICAD

AutoCAD (2D-CAD)

MicroStation (2D and 3D-CAD)

PDMS (3D-CAD)

Staad III (static / dynamic calculation ofsecondary steel)

PSA 5 (pipe system calculation program)

CAE-pipe (pipe system calculationprogram)

Analysis of complex support arrangements

The proper functional inte-gration of pipe supportsinto the existing piping

and plant concept has adecisive influence on thelong-term behavior of pipesystems. The same careand attention should there-fore be paid to supportplanning as to the pipesystems themselves. Inthis respect, the choice ofproduct and the availabilityof up-to-date design soft-ware has a major effect on

the quality of planning.

LICAD drawing

CAD drawing according to customer requirements

The following engineering services are avai-lable according to requirements:

9.8.1 Design of support arrangements (loadchain designs) with LICAD:

The following data should ideally be sup-plied by the customer:

pipe diameter

loads

movements

temperatures

insulation thickness, if necessary

piping material

installation length and position, orcorresponding piping and structural plans

specifications

On the basis of these data, ready-to-installload chains are generated with the LISEGAdesign program LICAD from standard sup-ports, from structural attachment right through

to pipe-surrounding component. The designsso prepared are stored and printed out asscale drawings, including parts lists with loadand material data. As an option, locationplans and pricing details can be included withthe LICAD drawings.

9.8.2 Generation of 2D CAD drawings with-out supplementary steel

For the preparation of 2D CAD drawings thefollowing information on the drawing layout,

in addition to the details in 9.8.1, is required: drawing sheet in format DXF, DWG or

DGN

drawing numbers

location plans

As the basis for the CAD drawing, a LICADsupport configuration together with dimensio-ning, parts list and relevant adjustment datais supplied via a special interface. The drawing

sheet required is inserted in the customer's

specific drawing layout. The CAD drawing issupplemented by a location plan and drawing

number.

9.8.3 Generation of 2D CAD drawings incl.supplementary steel

As well as customer details mentioned in9.8.1 and 9.8.2, data as to dimension andposition of the steelwork is required for CADdrawings including supplementary steel(secondary steel). The CAD drawings aregenerated as in 9.8.2 but additionally sup-plemented by the steelwork required.

9.8.4 Complete planning with preparation ofCAD drawingsFor complete support planning (engineering),the following documentation is supplied bythe customer beside the data according to9.8.1:

drawing sheet in format DXF, DWGor DGN

drawing numbers

piping isometrics

piping calculations

pipe plans

structural plans

The planning of the support designs and thesecondary steel required is based on thedocumentation supplied. The results aregenerated as 2D CAD drawings in theAutoCAD program as described in 9.8.2and 9.8.3.

9.8.5 Preparation of 3D models withMicroStation for PDSFor the generation of 3D models on

MicroStation the pipe supports are first pre-pared as 2D models. The 2D data are thentransposed into 3D data by LICAD andtransferred via an interface into theMicroStation 3D model. The secondary steelrequired is supplemented in the 3D model.In PDS the 3D models so generated can beused for interference checks.

9.8.6 Support design of 3D models inPDMSFor the design of 3D pipe system supports

in the PDMS program, the customer makesa PDMS model complete with pipe systems,steel and all structural components available.In addition, the data listed in 9.8.1 isrequired for the design of pipe supports.The support points, including the necessarysecondary steel, are planned and laid outdirectly in the PDMS 3D model by experien-ced designers. LICAD provides the well-triedbasis for this. The load chains generated inLICAD, transposed into 3D data, are integra-ted into the model with the aid of a PDMS

interface. Any secondary steel required canbe directly supplemented in PDMS.

Finally, an examination of possible obstructions(interference check) is carried out in the 3Dmodel. The customer receives a complete,fully checked 3D model with all plannedsupport positions and the relevant 2D draw-

ings, including parts lists. The support draw-ings can also be generated in the 3D modeif required.

9.8.8 Pipe system calculationIn older installations it is often necessary forreasons of operational safety to renew pipesystems and supports in order to meet cur-rent standards in technology. There is ofteninsufficient documentation available offeringinformation on calculations regarding theoriginal design. If so desired, a static calcu-lation of pipe systems can be provided. Thefollowing typical load conditions per supportpoint are calculated:

weight

temperature

static G

emergency shutdown

hydrostatic test

The codes ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3 andBS806 are observed for the calculations. Therelevant code is to be defined on ordering

according to version and year.

ON SITE SERVICE

9.9 Plant serviceAdditional stress and strain caused by low-quality pipe supports during pipe systemoperation can lead to long-term damagethat considerably increases the risk of mal-function and breakdown when the plant isin operation.

Faults frequently occurring in pipe supportsare:

poor support designs

faulty installation

incorrect load settings

inappropriate instructions

deficient quality of support components

A particular problem often arises in olderinstallations when variable spring and con-stant hangers are installed with springs thatare not pre-relaxed (see page 1.16 in thisrespect). Through the increasing relaxationover a period of time a growing loss of ulti-mate load gradually occurs. Load deviationsresulting from this can lead to impermissible

additional stress in sensitive areas, e.g. atconnection points. Timely inspection in theplant can contribute to the prompt identifi-cation and elimination of critical stresses.

The operational safety ofpipe systems and thereforethe availability and long

life of the plants is depen-dent to a large degree onthe condition and functionalcapacity of the supportsemployed.

To avoid costly damageand operational breakdownthe regular inspection ofthermal movement inpiping systems and thecondition of supports -

especially in older installa-tions - is urgently advised.
