Delegated Design Pipe Support Engineering

Horizontal piping systems typically require restraint to protect and limit movement during a seismic event or a change in thermal conditions. The challenge lies in determining how best to restrain the system while also keeping pipe stresses low and deflections within acceptable limits.

 

JSC Engineers solves these common piping issues by simulating the piping network using state-of-the-art analysis software. This allows our team to provide an optimized restraint system that protects both the piping and surrounding structure. By placing restraints only where they are needed—rather than relying on overly conservative rules of thumb—we help reduce system costs while improving reliability.

Delegated Pipe Support Design You Can Build On

JSC Engineers specializes in delegated design for pipe support systems, working directly with contractors, fabricators, and EPC teams to deliver fully engineered solutions that meet project-specific requirements. Our pipe stress analysis team utilizes CAESAR II for comprehensive stress evaluations and FE/Pipe for Finite Element Analysis (FEA), ensuring that all supports are designed for code compliance, constructability, and long-term performance.

Through delegated design, we assume full engineering responsibility for pipe support layout, selection, and structural load coordination. Our team optimizes every support configuration to reduce field adjustment, minimize vibration, and limit reliance on costly, high-maintenance components.

With a focus on constructibility and installation efficiency, JSC Engineers delivers pipe support designs that are practical, permit-ready, and backed by code-compliant analysis. Our delegated design services help accelerate schedules, reduce RFIs, and improve collaboration between design and construction teams.
