Utility pipe racks — fabricated steel for plant service and auxiliary lines
Utility pipe racks carry the service piping that keeps a process plant running — steam, condensate, cooling water, compressed air, fuel gas, and firewater loops. They are often specified separately from process pipe racks in EPC BOQs. Sun Corporation fabricates utility racks as IS 800:2007 compliant steel structures from IS 2062 material, with the same WPS/PQR and inspection trail as main process racks.
Scope differences from process racks
Utility racks frequently run at lower elevations, tie into existing corridors, or span between equipment areas and the main pipe rack battery limits. That means more short spans, more retrofit connections, and tighter coordination with live-plant interfaces. We fabricate in modular shop assemblies where the erection sequence allows — reducing hot-work time on site.
| Typical utility services | Fabrication notes |
|---|---|
| Steam and condensate | Thermal movement guides; elevated support spacing per stress analysis |
| Cooling water | Heavier pipe clusters; wider bent spacing on long runs |
| Instrument and cable tray supports | Secondary steel attached to rack columns or cantilever brackets |
| Firewater | Seismic bracing where specified; galvanised or painted finish per spec |
Quality and handover
Utility rack packages are often part of a larger EPC steel MTO. We match your ITP hold points, provide bolted connection records, and include utility rack piece marks in the master dispatch list. See manufacturer credentials for workshop capacity (500+ MT/month) and documentation samples.
