Installation
SPSI understand the importance of budgets and having invested money on improving the Pipe Support Infrastructure it is of upmost importance to then ensure that the hardware is installed properly and to the specific design drawings and isometrics. It is not uncommon during inspection work to encounter very poorly installed supports and on occasion supports that have not even been commissioned at all. At best this can cause undesired and unexpected stresses within the piping system and at worst it can lead to safety concerns and potential failures. All of which can cause unnecessary lost time and each coming with varying financial impacts.
Our experienced Engineers can be employed to be on-hand during such installations, overseeing that supports are installed correctly by third party contractors. This ensures that all hardware is correct at time of installation and installed to the correct settings. If any issues are encountered then we are directly on-hand to assist. If however a third party contractor is preferred to operate independently then we can also offer a commissioning service to inspect installed supports prior to operation ensuring everything has been installed to the correct specification, standards and at the correct settings.

Training
At SPSI we pride ourselves on our continuous improvement programs and strive to learn alongside our customers. This is why we offer bespoke training days tailored to our customers’ requirements. These are an excellent way to improve awareness to all Personnel on the Plant. This training can be far reaching in content. Starting from the very basics of why we use Pipe Supports and how they work, to essential things to look out for whilst doing day to day Plant Observations. This is not only a great opportunity for us to share our experience and knowledge but is also a great tool in order to train Personnel to help spot and pick up any early warning signs of problems that may appear between annual inspections. A healthy piping system depends upon a healthy supporting system. Please contact us directly for more information.
Design
SPSI are able to offer wide ranging packages when it comes to the design of Pipe Supports. Not only are we able to provide comprehensive independent inspections but we can follow this through with recommendations for replacements, whether that be ‘like for like’ or a full bespoke re-design packages. Using 2D (AutoCad) and our vast experience of multiple pipe support industry software we have all the tools and experience needed in order to provide the very best design solutions. Adding to this the ability to be at site during installations means we really are all the support you’ll ever need……
