PIPE RACK - BRANCH 1

The pipe rack, made by steel and fireproofed by concrete, has a maximum height of about 13,0m and plan dimensions of about 79,0mx7,0m. The gravity loads, due to 4 piping levels and one service platform, have been supported by 12 transversal frames, which have also the task to guarantee the transversal stability against wind and seismic loads. In the longitudinal direction the horizontal stability is guaranted by vertical bracings.
