Site Survey
For the site survey we will audit your supports on any of the lines that you point out to us and verify their condition. We will examine the spring supports — we will check the housings, coils, and all related hardware. We will mark each support as OK, Replace, or Adjust – in the case of variable and constant spring supports. Upon completion of the survey we will provide a report listing all of the supports and our recommendations. We will also provide you with a quotation for the supports that we recommend that you replace.
Stress Analysis and Design
We can provide pipe stress analysis and pipe support design as well using current modeling software.
Pipe Support Testing
We can come onto site and test your constant supports and variable supports.

PT&P is a complete and fully qualified manufacturer of pipe supports and hangers. We have over 25 years of experience and are certain that we can meet any deadline that you need for the supports. Our quotation will include material and manufacturing costs, as well as the time frame for the supply of the recommended supports.
