Most Support Failures Aren't Fabrication Failures

They are decisions made before anyone cut steel: a span set by rule of thumb, guide spacing that ignored thermal growth, a support chosen for the wrong service. 

Since the 1970s

Consulting for owners, engineers and contractors.

No Third-Party Engineering

Our engineers run every calc; our shop builds it.

Non-Metallic & Metallic Systems

FRP, HDPE, PVC and carbon, stainless and alloy piping.

Proven Track Record

Decades of supports in corrosive service.
