Pipe Supports

Bolt-Up Pipe Support Systems for Industrial and Mining Sites

Skopit Pipe Supports are designed for industrial, mining, construction and processing environments where pipework needs to be supported safely, efficiently and with minimal site disruption.

Using the Skopit Beam Clamp system, pipe saddles and support assemblies can be attached to existing structural steel without the need for welding to the structure.

This provides a practical bolt-up alternative for sites where hot works are restricted, costly or difficult to manage.

Whether the project involves new pipework, maintenance upgrades, shutdown preparation or retrofitting services to an existing structure, Skopit can help provide a pipe support solution suited to the job.

No-Weld Pipe Support

A No-Weld Alternative For Pipe Support Installation

Traditional pipe support installation often requires welding brackets, saddles or support structures directly to existing steelwork.

On industrial and mining sites, this can create additional requirements around hot work permits, shutdown planning, fire watch procedures, site access, supervision and safety controls.

Skopit Pipe Supports are designed to simplify this process.

By using the Skopit Beam Clamp system, pipe supports can be bolted to suitable existing beams or columns, reducing the need for welding and helping to make installation faster and more practical.

This makes the system especially useful for existing plants, processing facilities, mine sites, water treatment plants and other operational environments where reducing downtime matters.

Why Use A Bolt-Up Pipe Support System?

Pipe support requirements are often driven by more than just the pipe itself. Site access, operating conditions, shutdown windows, existing steelwork and safety requirements can all affect the best support method.

A bolt-up pipe support system can help reduce the complexity of installation by avoiding unnecessary welding to the existing structure.

Key benefits can include:

  • Reduced need for hot works
  • Less reliance on welding to existing structural steel
  • Faster installation in suitable applications
  • Reduced site disruption during maintenance or upgrade works
  • Practical installation on existing beams and columns
  • Support for temporary or permanent pipework requirements
  • Improved flexibility for shutdowns, retrofits and staged works
  • Lower overall installation costs in suitable applications
Every site is different, so suitability should be assessed against the pipe size, load requirements, structure, access conditions and project specifications.

Designed For Industrial

And Mining Applications

Skopit Pipe Supports are suited to demanding site environments where strength, reliability and practical installation are important.

They can be used across a range of industries and pipework applications where support systems need to be installed onto existing steelwork with minimal disruption.

Mining and Minerals Processing

Mining and Minerals Processing

Mining and processing sites often require pipework to be added, modified or supported around existing plant, conveyors, walkways, tanks and structural steel.

In these environments, hot works can add risk, delays and extra approval requirements. A bolt-up pipe support system can help simplify installation during shutdowns, upgrades and ongoing maintenance works.

Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities

Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities

Water and wastewater facilities often rely on pipework for transfer, treatment, dosing, drainage and processing systems.

Because these sites may need to remain operational during upgrades or repairs, reducing disruption is important. Skopit Pipe Supports can assist by allowing suitable support assemblies to be attached to existing steel without welding.

Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Sites

Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Sites

Oil, gas and petrochemical sites often have strict hot work controls due to fire risk, hazardous materials and operational safety requirements.

Where suitable, Skopit Pipe Supports can provide a bolt-up alternative to welded supports, helping reduce hot work exposure and simplify installation planning.

Industrial Plants and Workshops

Industrial Plants and Workshops

Industrial plants and workshops regularly need to adjust, upgrade or add pipework as equipment and processes change.

Skopit Pipe Supports can provide a practical way to add pipe support points to existing steelwork without the need for welding to the structure.

Construction and Infrastructure Projects

Construction and Infrastructure Projects

Construction and infrastructure projects often require efficient pipe support installation across staged works and changing site conditions.

A bolt-up system can help reduce installation time and coordination issues, particularly where suitable beams or columns are already in place.

HVAC and Mechanical Services

HVAC and Mechanical Services

Pipe support systems may also be required for mechanical services, HVAC pipework and associated service runs.

A bolt-up support method can be useful in facilities where existing steelwork provides suitable fixing points and minimising disruption is important.

Processing and Manufacturing Sites

Processing and Manufacturing Sites

Processing and manufacturing facilities often need to keep production moving while maintenance or upgrade work is carried out.

Because welding can create downtime, safety controls and scheduling issues, a bolt-up pipe support system can be a practical alternative for supporting new services, pipework and brackets.

Common Applications

Skopit Pipe Supports can be used across a range of industrial and site-based applications where pipework needs to be supported from existing steelwork.

The correct support arrangement depends on the pipe size, pipe material, operating conditions, span, load direction and surrounding structure.

HDPE Pipe Supports
HDPE pipework is commonly used across mining, water, wastewater and processing environments. Skopit Pipe Supports can assist with supporting HDPE pipe runs where a practical bolt-up installation method is preferred.
Carbon Steel Pipe Supports
For carbon steel pipework, support requirements may need to account for pipe weight, operating conditions, vibration, movement and corrosion protection. Skopit can provide support assemblies suited to the site requirements and pipe specifications.
Pipe Saddles
Pipe saddles provide a stable support point for pipework and can be incorporated into a bolt-up support assembly using the Skopit Beam Clamp system.
Pipe Hangers and Suspended Supports
Where pipework needs to be suspended below existing beams or structural steel, Skopit can assist with pipe hanger-style support arrangements using suitable brackets, threaded rod, turnbuckles and beam clamp connections.
Shutdown and Maintenance Works
During shutdowns and maintenance upgrades, installation time matters. A bolt-up pipe support system can help reduce delays caused by welding, permits and access issues where suitable structural steel is available.
Retrofitting to Existing Structures
Many industrial projects involve adding new services to existing steelwork. Skopit Pipe Supports can help provide a practical support solution without unnecessary modification to the structure.
Temporary or Permanent Pipe Support Requirements
The system can support temporary project works or permanent installations, depending on the pipework, load requirements, installation conditions and engineering approval.
Custom Fabricated Pipe Support Solutions
Where a standard support does not suit the project, Skopit’s fabrication experience allows custom support solutions to be developed around the site requirements.

Proven in Industrial and Mining Applications

Peak Downs Mine — Pipe Hanging Kits

Skopit supplied 70 beam clamps and pipe hanging kits to Walz Construction for a project at Peak Downs Mine.

The beam clamps and pipe hanging kits were used for pipe support installation where load ratings were an important project requirement.

This project demonstrates how the Skopit system can support larger pipework applications where rated support points and practical installation are critical.

Key outcome:

Beam clamps and pipe hanging kits supplied for a mine site pipe support project where load ratings were critical.

“I would definitely use Skopit product again, especially for large diameter pipelines where load ratings are critical.”
