Swift Metals Services Anchorage Height Adjustable Pipe Supports

Swift Metals Services offers pipe supports to the water, energy, oil and gas industries. The company manufactures its height-adjustable flange mount pipe support system in galvanised or powder-coated finishes. Alternatively, the pipe saddles and tube supports can be formed from stainless steel for additional corrosion resistance.

Manufactured in Australia from local and imported components, Anchorage Height Adjustable Pipe Supports are composed of a pipe flange mounting, with adjusting collar, grub screw and locknut, and are supplied complete with a welded baseplate and stanchion. The centreline of the pipe support system can be adjusted up to 120 mm to accommodate height variations across undulating terrain, without the need for cutting or welding on-site.

No tailoring, welding, fabricating or cutting of the pipe support mechanism is required on-site, meaning trucks equipped with welding equipment and qualified welding personnel are similarly unneeded. A secondary benefit is the versatility of installation in gas fields or areas where there is a danger of fire or explosion: as no welding or cutting is required on-site, users do not need to obtain regulatory hot work permits.

Pipelines, depressurisation stations and pumping stations are said to be quicker to install with the pipe supports, saving on time, workload and cost - particularly on remote sites, where accommodation and travel can add substantially to capital costs.
